    Really want to watch channel 5 and big brother starting soon :)

    Can anyone advise me what satellite system I would need to view channel 5. I am with UPC and changing to sky isn't really an option.

    Want to spend as little as possible on this as really only want to it for big brother (I know I'm sad! :D:D)

    If anyone could advise I would really appreciate it as I haven't a clue about these things!

    You could pick up a cheap FTA kit.. Will involve installing a dish and running a cable to a set top box..
    Cheapest i have seen are the Ross ones in B&Q.. 59 for SD or 79 for HD..

    Seems a lot of effort!!

    Channel 5 have an on demand service on their website.. Maybe find a proxy and watch it through that??
