Moving to Cyprus in April - Any decent satellite channels worth getting out there?

[tomlee80]

In the UK I currently use a Nvidia Shield TV Pro Android box to serve all my IPTV needs which I've road-tested and works more than well enough in sunny Cyprus.

But I enjoy playing with my E2 boxes and getting satellite channels which in recent years here in the UK has really just been Sky freeview channels since the blackout.

From doing some research I've pretty well aware there's no chance of me getting anything on Astra 28.2, but perhaps there's some other decent content worth watching.

The box I'm using is the Octagon SF8008 4K.

On a E2 box no 28e on a Forever box 28e and packages all over the arc become available to you.

Youll need a big dish out there for 28e

I wonder if you would be able to pick up the Freeview backhaul on 15W (if its still a thing?)

There's no satellite TV specifically for Cyprus anymore, but many there do use dishes to pick up Greek channels.
The sports coverage on Cypriot TV is great, but is mostly in Greek. It is also only available on (legitimate or otherwise) IPTV.
