Blog Entries: 1 My System: Sky UK. FTA analogue & digital satellite from 6 fixed dishes (5E/7E/9E/10E/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 | You will get most of the pay channels without too many problems. However if you want the BBC ITV & C4 channels you are going to need a big dish. | ||

This is off the Astra 2D site: Vienna RECEIVER: Hyunday 820 receiver DISH: 1.8m Hirschman dish LNB: 0.3dB Invacom Posted 18-07-03 Astra 2D FTA channels are being picked up in Vienna, Austria (35-40%). Respected local satellite expert -http://www.olbort.at is recommending that nothing under 2.4m will do and, that Sky Digiboxes will struggle to receive a signal with anything less than that.

| I live on the other side of Austria, in Vorarlberg, can get the Sky channels on a sky minidish, and I even get the weaker 2D channels (ie BBC, ITV ...) ca 50% of the time on the minidish! 80cm dish guarantees the 2D channels, you migth lose then still during the odd thunderstorm though. Vienna will be a different story though for the 2D channels, as the footprint starts to fall off rapidly as you cross Austria. I agree that 1.8M would be minumum you would need. But, you will still get the 2A and 2B channels on the mindish in Vienna! -Wally | ||

| Agreed .... 2.4m is absolute minimum for all channels - 3m for 24 hour reception. However 60cm will get you everything else if you have a Sky card, so you might like getting used to life without 2D. I am 40mins drive east of Wien and sorry, it's bad news - but, @johnpowley: PM me for more info. | ||
