I hope someone can advise. I have a large satellite dish and a new smart tv. 

I currently receive only the very basic English  channels through a digibox I bought in Spain. 

How can I get more channels through my dish as it seems such a waste for such a few channels. 

I don't want to get internet/ wifi until I move permenently early next year.

Thank you 

Julia

Depends what you mean by very basic English channels.

You should get all the free channels - all BBC, ITV, Channels 4 & 5, More 4, Sky News, Euronews, etc etc.

If you're missing any of these, read the instruction book for the receiver and do a targeted scan for them.

Be warned that if you do a full scan, you'll end up with hundreds of channels, and you'd then have to work your way through them and delete all the scrambled and non-English channels.
