Italian tv has some free channels and some encrypted ones. Fortunately the encrypted channel package – Tivusat is readily available and not expensive, it is a one-off payment and there is no subscription. Officially your details should be registered to obtain and activate the Tivu card, but Even if you dont have the required codice fiscale, one can be provided
TiVu Sat consists of the groups Mediaset, RAI and La7. From July 2009 the Tivusat platform has carried all the channels of its 3 members, which are the Italian main channels and is to remain free to viewers in Italy. The Tivu viewing card uses NagraVision encryption but once registered, there is no ongoing cost.

If you want to combine Tivu or the Italian free channels package with channels from another satellite, eg English Freesat , French or German, you can choose a motorised dish or a multi satellite dish . Many of the receivers reviewed on the site will control a motor or multi satellite dish including the Amiko HD
Motorised 1m dish can receive any satellite from 30 degrees west to 42 east, in most places.
Multi satellite Wide angle dish with up to 4 or 5 satellites on a Toroidal dish with 40 degree spread
Multi sat ( up to 4 or 5 satellites ) on a standard Parabolic dish – 20 degree spread
What receiver will I get with the multi or motor package? I would recommend the Technomate receiver which works ok with Tivu or Free channels.
