[QUOTE="BLUEPLATINUM, post: 806996, member: 176530"] It is now possible to receive all of the Astra 1N transmissions here with a 1.8m dish. HOWEVER around the end of the year Astra 1N is being moved and these channels will be transmitted for Astra 2F. The beam on 1N which forms the "UK Spot" is actually meant for the Iberian peninsula and Canary Islands. It is possible we are only receiving it because of overspill from the, currently offset, Canarian lobe. I would not therefore make any major investment until 2F goes live. Also, if a lot of the encrypted channels from 2A and 2B North move to 2F pan-European (2A and 2B are being withdrawn from service soon) then those with small dishes and Sky subscriptions will start to receive a lot more channels than they do now. This could even include ITV 2, 3 & 4 HD. A lot is going to change when 2F goes live !!! [/QUOTE]
