Does anyone have any info about the satellite, Hotbird?  This is what came with our compound and we really only have 2 full time channels in English.......CNN (1036) and Boomerang (244)!  Every now and then on channel 88 we can get a sitcom from the US.  Any channels we are missing???

There are plenty of other channels, but not in English!  I took French class in high school for 2 years but that's not helping!! haha

 

Maybe the dish is pointed in the wrong direction?
