Indoor areas are unsuitable for reliable Freeview reception.

nice: Yes, if you take the box and card with you it will work in Spain with a 3 meter dish. The dish must be aligned to the "Astra 2" satellite cluster, which is not the standard in Spain.

Michael: I would suspect that as Richard Desmond "hates" Rupert Murdoch, Channel 5 would probably love to have the channels unencrypted.
However, Channel 5 has a contract with SSSL and I would suspect this stipulates the encryption stays.
In particular Channel 5 HD is one of those "exclusive to Sky" HD channels that Sky bribed into existence.

Lisa: You will need both a "quad LNB" fitted to the dish, and the addition of a second cable. You will probably need to contact a local installation company to provide this for you.
