Does anyone know someone that can assist me in getting SKY TV on Sal Island - Cape Verde Islands?

How big a dish is needed for Sky?

What other sat services are available there? Is there a list somewhere?

Thanks

Welcome to the forum incamedia

you will not get a sniff unless you have Jodrell bank, not feasible as the footprints e.g. 2D 2B south 2A south EB are nowhere near, a 5mtr monster may get something on a side lobe .As regards your other question, I am not sure what you mean by services, the satellites are there in the sky above, but in the middle of the Pacific there are not that many beams pointed towards that area they tend to be pointed at heavily populated areas.

do you know if it's easier to get Eutelsat 13 East in Cape Verde, Santiago Island, in Praia?
How big should be the dish?

Cape Verde is well outside the official footprint for the Hotbird satellites.

That 40dbW line to the north of you suggests a 1.2m dish for the Canaries, so you might have some success in Cape Verde with something over 2m.

You need to get some local knowledge - there must be some satellite dish installers you can talk to in the islands.

What I would suggest is to check around the large hotels and see what sort of TV they are offering to their guests. If anyone has the money to install a large dish it will be one of the big hotels. Failing that then its trial and error I´m afraid.

The slingbox idea may be far easier and cheaper.

There is lots of english tv availible on a basic motorised 90cm set up, maybe not as quality viewing as SKY.

To that end a bit off subject, can anyone recommend any good villas of self catering apartments for the month of February?

Want to come out and survey few areas.

Thanks
