[QUOTE="2old4this, post: 354010, member: 174998"] Yes, Racing UK is transmitted by the Eurobird-1 sat, which sits at 28.5E. See [URL="http://www.satcodx2.com/0282/eng"]here[/URL] The Astra-2 cluster transmitting most of Sky's stuff (including Beeb) is at 28.2E. These are so close that you really ought not to have any problem picking them up from a single fixed dish. If you do, try a larger dish. Theoretically that will only work to a point though, since a [I]very[/I] large dish will have a very "sharp focus" (will only see a smaller area of the sky - rather like a more powerful telescope). You might then consider 2 dishes, or a steerable dish. I really doubt you should find this necessary though. My own 1.3m dish when parked at 28.2E will pull in Eurobird too, without problems. 2old [/QUOTE]
