Hi there,
I can speak from experience as my mother lives abroad, and I am the ?expert? (in her eyes anyway, as I used to be a satellite installer), and have set up a system for her, and also an identical system for myself here in the UK.
if you want BBC Prime again, then I heartily recommend you forget cable, and buy this box which is advertised on Ebay.

Basically you just connect it to a cheap dish, and never worry about cable again. This is how she watches BBC Prime and a load of other French etc channels, news channels, Eurosport, MTV/VH1, Boomerang? well there are hundreds inc. Hebrew, Arabic, Farsi ones? a few saucy ones too! And you don?t have to bother about subscriptions.
