Above sounds great. Thanks Luke. FYI, a few years ago when there was hot competition, Sky offered to install dishes & receivers on a no-contract basis, but just paying an installation charge. Though that would give you a fixed dish, i.e. only see Sky Satellites).
Dish is likely to be small, e.g. 45cm.
A dual-LNB on a disk 60-80cm dish will allow you to get both Sky & Eutelsat (with naughty european channels).
A 100cm disk will give you even more satellites.
If being really fancy, fixing dish on a motor. HOWEVER it is not easy to synchronise / point a moving dish.
See https://www.cpc.co.uk/ for satellite dishes .. Luke's mention of the LIDL price for receiver sounds great.
p.s. If you don't have a sky receiver with a sky card (e.g. via free offer above), you will NOT be able to get most sky channels which are encrypted. Note : I have seen sky receiver offered for £10 in car boot sales {Amstrad, or Panasonic} .. or on Ebay .. buyer beware. If these have an old sky card, even better since they may allow you to watch some Free-to-view (i.e. encrypted free) channels. Though if you have a sky receiver, forget about other satellites .. I think these are set up to only link to sky satellite.
George, it's the Real Deal! ( weekday television show )
Can't anyone PLEASE capture at least the audio? EvilGoblin's attempts are appreciated, but the sound is so distorted it drives you mad after a while.
We're missing a lot here. The shows are so much better than the talkSPORT shows. He stays on one subject more than 3 seconds (although still seldom more than 3 minutes), and the guests are high quality with unique viewpoints. It's turning into a good daily news commentary.
All that's really needed is the audio. It would be great to be able to listen to it like a radio show four days a week. Anyone able to get the audio in without resorting to a speaker/microphone stage like EvilGoblin's using?

the www.raj.tv site isn't even working at the moment, so that's not exactly encouraging
The production changed yesterday. It's a white background now. The show is getting much better content-wise. I like that he's getting guests he doesn't agree with. His Iraq correspondent looks like an Iraqi Pat Butcher. EvilGoblin's audio is better than it was too, I think he's getting the hang of it, even if the picture is still bad.
If you haven't been following the show, get with it. The June 4 show (already posted by EvilGoblin) presents the first part of a fascinating old documentary on a 1999 London-to-Baghdad anti-sanctions trip that Galloway and others made.

"If you intend to stop us at the border, you better bring the U.S. Marines with you, because we won't be allowing you onto our bus."
(Maybe it's a sign of how desperate the times are becoming, but I'm amazed at how 1999 is starting to look almost as innocent and romantic as the Summer of Love.)

It has a recent episode there now. Should be many more in future.
