John...Why the vitriol? The guy just wants to try doing the job himself. I'm not in Europe but I'll try to give you as much help as possible using web resourses.
The BBC is on Astra 2D. Check out the satellite's pattern at this page: http://www.satcure.co.uk/2d/fprint.htm Based on that, you can find the size dish you will need for reception. The BBC feeds are unencrypted standard DVB signals that can be received on just about any receiver, like the Coship. You might want to pick up a copy of this magazine: http://www.tele-satellite.com/eng/ It is aimed at European sat enthusiasts. Even though I am in the US, I find it has good reviews and tips. Good luck.
