    • To receive programming, in Melbourne, from these countries, you need a dish between 2.1m and 3.0m in diameter, with a clear line of sight from about west to slightly east of north. (Naturally, the bigger the dish, the better the reception.)

    Transmissions are in either digital or analogue formats. In digital format, with the right equipment, watching these overseas channels is like watching local television in terms of video and audio quality. In many cases, the signal will also contain secondary audio frequencies carrying one or more overseas radio stations broadcasting in glorious stereo.
