| Should we be able to receive Channel 4 on an Astra 2D vertical signal in the Canaries with a 3.1 dish? If I remember correctly, only horizontal beams are receivable. I live in Fuerteventura. | ||

I confirm the same. In Gran Canaria we have all the 2D horizontals but no 2D verticals (Channel master 2.4 m offset dish, MTI Blue Line LNB, very sensitive Thomson receiver). | ||
