Yes it's true! I received a mail from Tenerife
Various brands of receiver
1.8m & Channel Master 2.4m dish
LNB type not known
Hi, Just to try and help you out with the footprint issue, I am in Tenerife
and believe or not even though we are 1500 miles further
away than the footprint suggests we can get all the horizontal channels
of 2D with a Channel Master 2.4m dish, With all makes of boxes but for channel 4
and Sky 1 mix (We cant get Sky 1) you need either a Panasonic 30, Sony 760, Grundig /2
or the very new pace box (which is the best out of all boxes).
We can get ITV on a 1.8 m dish with a good box but only in the afternoon,
We cant get ITV 2 at all and have even tested it on a 4m dish
(but we don't know if that dish was any better than a channel master 2.4m).
Hope this helps you.
