Welcome to the forum cosmicsun I have moved your post to the Freesat section which is more appropriate. You have not a prayer with a 66cm dish where you are have a look here at the 2d footprint focussed on the UK

My System: Sky UK. FTA analogue & digital satellite from 5 fixed dishes (5E/7E/9E/13E/16E /19E/23E/28E) Pace MSS100, Echostar IP3000VA, Technomate TM-1000D, Dreambox 7020S The last noble sat warrior to fly the olden flag of Analogue |
The problem with the BBC & ITV channels (which make up a good part of the Freesat line up at the moment is that they are transmitted on Astra 2D which puts a very poor signal into Mallorca (nice place - been there a couple of times )As already mentioned you will need something around 2.4m diameter to get the Astra 2D channels in Mallorca - if not a bit more. This is not practical on a camper van so you will have to make do with what you have .
