Our old satellite dish has given up the ghost is anyone still using a dish? And if so where is the best place to get one as to date have been quite happy using the dish until we move over full time next year TIA

Most here in TRNC use Internet streaming via local ISP's

Indeed most access TV via internet, but some locals use a dish to get terrestrial TV from Turkey. WOuld suggest someone like Tektan is your best bet https://www.facebook.com/TEKTAN.CO.LTD/ if you don't do Face Book Tel no's

As you're in Alsancak, you could ask HayPem (opposite Green Petrol) to fit one for you - they fitted one for me a while ago - can't remember price!

Keithcaley May I ask what tv Chanel’s the satellite dish provide. We are only looking at a stop gap for when we come over for holidays until we move out next year TIA

The English language 'entertainment' type content is extremely limited, and UK programmes are almost non-existent unless you use a decoder and subscribe to specific services such as Bein Sports etc.

I believe that there are individuals here who can supply links to 'Pirated' services, but I've never used them.

I got a satellite dish simply because I like 'tinkering about' with stuff - to actually 'watch TV', I use the internet

You can find a general guide to Satellite reception in Cyprus here, and a Satellite directory here,

As you will probably end up using the internet anyway, perhaps you would be better off spending your money on a set-top box such as this - there are Internet Providers who allow you to put your subscription 'on hold' when you are not on the Island (for a small fee), and that way you would be all set when you do make the move - just my thoughts...

There are other set-top box suppliers of course, and you can probably buy a box cheaper in the UK & get it programmed to enable TV viewing once you are over here if you wanted to - I just can't see any point in spending money on a dish which will soon be redundant.

Lipoylush, or get an Amazon firestick and bring with you and take home again; will need a VPN to access UK channels.

I use a dish in Cyprus and in London. It is for the reception of Digiturk which transmits on Turksat at 42 Deg East. I ferry my Digiturk box between UK and Cyprus in my hand luggage. At the moment this service costs me about £16.50 a month. As part of this package I also get Internet with a speed of up to 15mpbs. There are some good movie and series channels plus BBC World Service and 2 other BBC entertainment channels. However, by far the most attractive channels for me are Bein Sport. They show a lot of live Premiership football including 3pm kickoffs in the UK !
