[cheryline]

Can anyone tell me if Skylink Cards sent from the Czech Republic to Cyprus work???

Only if you are pointing to the right satellite and the signal is strong enough for Cyprus.For example a 2.4m dish will pick up most of sky uk in Cyprus but for bbc/itv we need a 3m. Do you know anybody that is receiving skylink here ?

No unfortuneately I do not (I only want it to pick up the Czech tv)_

The footprints for the skylink transponders can be found from here:-

It will be down to dish size needed.

It needs to point to 23.5E not 19.2E.

Ooh you are in a bad place for Skylink reception - none of the coverage footprints are favourable for Cyprus, with the stuff on Astra 3A being on an especially nasty footprint for you.

many thanks, they will be moving the dish today

cheryline, so your 2.2m dish is now pointing at 23.5E as beeing recommended also at _http://www.satellites.co.uk/satellite/fringe-reception-general/148531-czech-tv-cyrpus.html ?

It would be interesting to see which frequencies in particular you do receive now.
