You will not have any problem at all to receive the middle east beam of Amos2 with a small dish. I don't know what are the chances to receive the european beam in Paphos...
 
There is frequency reuse which might make it impossible to receive the Verticals of Amos 2 Europe Beam in 10.7-10.95GHz. This affects the hungarian T-Home and slovak Magio packages. On the opposite the israeli Yes package should be possible as long as your dish is not too big. I wouldn't go >1m if the israeli stuff is what you want to get. The other stuff might be receivable on 1.5-1.8m. This is what theory says. Practically somebody nearby you should check to be sure.
 
i have the viasat ukraine package and it requires hotbird, astra 4a (sirius) and amos. i am a satellite technician but never installed amos! i have a horizon meter and the only settings i can load onto the meter says "H amos2". it doesn't say weather its european beam or middle east beam. does anybody maybe have a file with the middle east settings to send me?
 
The Ukrainian channels are on the European beam

-http://www.flysat.com/amos.php

All three frequencies have opposite polarity transponders on the Middle Eastern beam, so will probably be unavailable to you.
 
You should first find out which frequencies are required from 4W.

There are plenty of free channels on Amos 2&3 European Beams on H pol.
The other ukrainian part is the Xtra TV package on Amos 3 European Beam H pol.
Both are - for the moment - not affected by the Middle East Beams and as i have written before might work on 1.50-1.80m.
 
Thanks to all, i have realized that for the european beam i will require at least a1.5 dish. my wife is not happy as i already have 4 1mtr dishes and 2 uhf antennas on the roof already! :-rub
 
OT:

4 1m dishes ? In your profile there are just two of them. If i understand well a) 13E-[19.2E], B) 4.8E. Where do your other 2 1m dishes point to ? Is any of them motorised ?

Which frequencies except those from Astra 1M Wide Beam can you get on 1m from 19.2E ?

Can you get any DVB-T Mux from Greece or Egypt there ?

/OT
 
i haven't updated my setup but i have a)hotbird+ astra 4a (sirius) ,B) hotbird with quad lnb to go to 4 seperate receivers, abs1 @75e and nilesat. i pick up dvb-t for cyprus only.i have a total of 6 receivers as so there is no fighting in my house!:)
 
solly, he is interested in the European Beams.
 
on europe beam need 3 meter to get it not all transponder same treanponder weak
but winter signal better the summer
 
solly 3m might be needed in Tel Aviv. I doubt that in Pafos which is 370km NW from you the situation looks that bad.
 
670km to the West, in Iraklio Crete things look much much easier. A 1m dish brings in all frequencies carrying ukrainian stations at 4.5-9.4dB (EBS Pro Lite measurement on an Technotrend S2-1600 card). The weakest is 11389H. 11572H carrying some russian channels cannot be received there at all on this size. Of course the situation in Pafos surely looks worse. How much ? This can just tell somebody who really knows the local conditions.
 
if irakleio needs 1mtr and tel aviv 3 mtrs then paphos half way 1.5mtrs :-thumb1 thanks all!
 
Maybe yes, maybe no. Satellite beams often don't have linear fall off on their edges so it can be anything in between or even weaker or stronger. Weaker if Tel Aviv is by chance below a sidelobe and Pafos not and stronger if Pafos is below a non predictable sidelobe. That's why i said only by testing it as near as possible to your install location you can be sure. Even some km can make a difference in edge / out of footprint reception.
 
hello all,
ive got my hands on a 175cm dish. my logic says that if i set it on 4.8e and either side put 13e and 4w i should get them right??
 
In theory, yes. I'd first try to see what signal you are getting with dish set just on 4W and if it's strong enough, go with what you proposed.
