can anyone recommend digiturk?? already have two satellite dishes on roof, need info on how much is their monthly package and installation cost.

I have just had a new digiturk dish put on the roof of my house it was 130 ytl to do this supply the cable and connect, I am using my exiting box as I moved house. The packages start at 20ytl a month I pay 50 and it covers everything I want to view. I have had the system for 9 years and have found them very reliable, unlike a lot of others that take your money up front for a year give bad service and then disappear.

We have the same package as Deniz - and it's also fine for us - it includes BBC Entertainment, BBC World, CNN International, Euronews, five channels showing American comedy and drama series, ten channels showing films predominantly in English, and of course the multitude of Turkish channels. However, if you'd like to watch all the programmes you watched back in the UK, then Digiturk is maybe not for you.

I have tried all the new 'boxes' and channels but keep reverting to Digiturk - plenty to see so I am quite happy with it. Also husband because he pays very little extra and has all premier league football on - thank goodness it is summer and premier league finished for a while!!

Iancrumpy do you know of any sat firms that do itv etc.

Sorry mate. Because I have not lived in the UK for over 20 years I don't miss ITV ... so I have never looked into getting it

Been using Digiturk for ten years now. No real problems and we buy an annual package. There are several, and really you need to go into the shop and find out what they are offering and how mucxh you can expect to pay. As I say we pay annually and that works out a bit cheaper. There is a standard package and then extra film and sports channels etc, so buy a package that is right for you.

As to ITV I believe there is a way of getting this, but we odn't have it. Hopefully someone else on the forum knows.

I have had Digiturk for 6 years and am very happy with them. If you get any problems there are 2 numbers you can ring, and one of them is even open on a Sunday to give help over the phone. Loads of variety and good after service with Englsh speaking technicians.

We have had good service from them for 8 years. The only thing I can add to the sound advice above is if you choose to pay annually for convenience and financial benefit and it includes the package for Premiership football it might be prudent to pay for the basic package annually and the Premiership football channels monthly as I now do. The television rights to film football are contracted every Season to bidders and depending on when you enrol, so to speak, if you have paid a year up front and digiturk at some stage do not or cannot contract with new service providers you simply lose your football channels at a stroke. I could get no refund for the 6 months viewing of football which I lost one year due to contract changes.
