From North/Central/South America, the Caribbean and Southern Africa i really don't expect that a 4m can get something but C-Band from there is worth to try as well. If only this dish would be motorised i wouldn't dare to think of what it could get.

Since you've got a 3m dish (solid ?), can't you get Premiere with this ? I read in a german board some time ago that there is somebody on Madeira with a 3m solid and got it. Unfortunately not the same person was writing but another that didn't knew details. But since the switch from Astra 1F to 1E reception conditions might have been changed.

Yes we can get sky - south with 1,3m ... and premiere with this too, but north beam we need a 1,8m or in rain ... 2,4m.

I have a farm with lots of dish for research and terrest. dish too.

You surely mean the transponders on 1G/H but i meant those much weaker on 1E.

Is a 3m enough for permanent reception also of all Astra 2D frequencies ?

Yes (Sky) that what I said before ... the south beam we can get with 1,3m but 2D and north with 1,8m and up.
The reception in Madeira its diferent from the rest of main land and Canary Islands, we have a side or distortion in sattelite that we can get more sign than in other countrys.


Premiere we can get some movies channels with 1,3m, the rest we need 2,4m to get all and in good conditions.

And about Astra 2D, are all H+V frequencies receivable 24/7 with 1.80m ?
