There was a European court case a while ago about this. From what I remember the ruling stated something like: 'Any European citizen has the right to receive tv from their own country subject to them having the necessary equipment capable of receiving the channels' So, with the right equipment, you can have tv and at least in the majority of this area it is possible with a big dish.

Maybe we should try to trace a copy of the ruling then point this out to the BBC, ITV, etc and instigate a court case to make them provide us with the dishes we need? I wouldn't hold my breath though.
