Saw this on a news site…...........

British Sky Broadcasting, the UK satellite group, is considering making a bid of more than ?2.5bn for Digital+, the Spanish pay-TV platform, which would mark its first foray outside the UK and Ireland since an ill-fated move into Germany in 2000.

Digital+, which Grupo Prisa is expected to auction this year, had been in the sights of News Corp, the US media conglomerate which owns 39.1 per cent of BSkyB.

Prisa, Spain?s largest media group and the owner of El Pais, is expected to sell Digital+ to repay debts incurred in this year?s highly-priced buy-out of other shareholders in Sogecable, the TV group that owns Digital+ and Cuatro, the free-to-air channel.

The box or the card wont be a problem(as long as it is already activated in the UK, the box should be ok if you have not bought it under a SKY special offer and it is still under the 12 month telephone line requirement), it is all down to dish size, how big is your dish and on what satellite??

Depending on where you are you will need anything from a 1.2M to a 2.4M to receive some channels, IE BBC1, ITV 1,2,3,4 CH4 CH5
