The "BritBird 2212" satellite set focuses on users who want to receive British TV channels in Germany. With some modifications programmes from other European regions can be picked up as well. The BritBird package is offered until December 15th in the Ruhr area. Dish and receiver box provide free channels from two satellite positions. So you can get British and German TV and radio with only one single dish. There is no extra cost for contracts or phone lines. Only the license fee (GEZ) needs to be paid.
The 80-cm-dish provides continous reception even during bad weather conditions. The receiver can be connected to your HiFi stereo and provides thus a high quality satellite radio.
