**chris** · 20-11-2005

The BIG 28.2E Dish Size survey

Welcome to the BIG Sky Digital survey. Please click HERE and enter your location in to our map and enter the size of your dish your using to receive Sky Digital 28.2E. Also please add any notes e.g. "No Channel 4 at night" If you can't receive 28.2E please enter "No signal here". We hope to build a clear picture of what is needed to receive 28.2E in fringe reception areas around Europe and that this will benefit other members in the future when setting up a new system.

Sorry, Googlemap not currently available as it has not been updated for latest vBulleting versions

Message to all who post a map pin, please add the relevant reception info, I know there isn't a lot of room, but a statement like "1.8m, all BBC+ITV" would suffice, it has to be 30 characters or less. Below is the sort of thing we are looking forEdit, now 50 characters

Message to all who post a map pin.

Please add the relevant reception info, otherwise the map will have no value whatsoever

I know there isn't a lot of room, but a statement like "1.8m, all BBC+ITV" would suffice, it has to be 50 characters or less.

PS. This map is only for the reception of Astra 28.2 degrees East, particularly Astra 2D.

**chris** · 21-11-2005

Likvid · 11-06-2007

Why in hell do people from USA and South America post on this map?

Daku · 07-08-2007

As a childish joke, one presumes. Like the people who are in the easternmost areas of the Middle East and claim to pick up 2D with a 50cm dish...

**rolfw** · 07-08-2007

More likely that they just think it's a location map for members' where abouts, unfortunately due to the nature of it, we can't edit the entries.

PS, is this Daku from The Den?

TonyWhalley · 04-01-2008

well I would update the chart if it allowed me! Munich, Germany - 1 metre dish receive all channels on a Sky box and separate FTA receiver (mainly for 19.2 E FTA plus Premiere but also picks up Astra 2) bog standard LNB (0.3 dB)

Nothing personal gentlemen, Chris has had to take it off line this morning temporarily, as it was possibly causing a couple of serious database errors.

If you subscribe to this thread, Chris will post when he has put it back online and you will be notified, we need and value the input of our members.

satesco · 02-09-2008

I received a warning from rolfw,which remind me that I infringed forum rules!Thats why I erase my post about Astra 2D.

**Gaza 1** · 02-09-2008

Hi Satesco

i still feel you would do better with a ad120 adjustible feed horn and a invacom lnb so near and yet so far

bashwell · 07-09-2008

I'm probably a few years late, but when I click on address to see the dish size survey map, I do get a Google map, but thats all !!
What am I not doing properly?
If it hasn't been there for ages, then why is there a post on it 5 days ago?
Confused, Canary Islands

***snap*** · 08-09-2008

Just a map with no markers or info.
also confused, Tunbridge Wells

**HeXaDeC** · 28-11-2008

I'm ALWAYS confused.........

Hi Rolfie........pigs still flying?

**rolfw** · 28-11-2008

Hi Hex, good to see you here.

How's things?

@ All - Unfortunately the Google Map does not work with the latest vBulleting releases and we're not sure whether there will be an update, so we may have to start from scratch using another method.

**HeXaDeC** · 30-11-2008

Moving to Germany soon.....so my interest in Sat. TV has blossomed again.

This is the best place on the net for expertise.............

Hope you are well and happy old friend.

**rolfw** · 30-11-2008

Very well thanks Hex, whereabouts in Germany are you going to?

**HeXaDeC** · 01-12-2008

Dusseldorf town centre.........near the Altstadt....

Visit anytime m8.

**rolfw** · 01-12-2008

LOL, may well take you up on that.

Looks like an 80cm will be fine for your British TV reception, so no huge expenditure.

sesamo · 02-12-2008

First of all...excuse me for my bad english....
My position is in Treviso, Italy, near Venice...
J have a 110 cm dish and all astra 2d is perfect....only at night...at 11.00 pm o'clock the signal is slower and tv freeze but after an hour...the signal come back discretely...
In the morning and the afternoon and in evening no problem of reception
