[QUOTE="johnfallen, post: 24656, member: 176385"] Thanks to Corrigap for linking to here from the Astra 2D site [url]www.astra2d.co.uk[/url] Great stuff. Here is my experience with (mostly) a standard Nokia Viasat package but an older and slightly larger dish. Location: Genarp, Sweden, (~30 km East of Copenhagen) Dish: 90 x 80 cm Amstrad. LNB: Nokia Universal (2624 5587-01) Receiver; Nokia 9802S Reception: Astra 2A, 2B (Radio 4 FM now, hurrah) no problem. Astra 2D; enough to allow the receiver to lock on and save channels on 10,773 H (transponder 45) and 10,803 D (transponder 47) when tuned manually. But no picture, sound, or channel information. Also, the Nokia 9802S will not find those channels automatically on "channel update". Anyone trying to get 2D from Malmö, Lund, Trelleborg, Copenhagen or the vicinity please contact me, we can probably compare notes to determine required dish sizes. Official footprints suggest "Scandinavia, forget it", but other reports show the problem is not that bad. Here is an encouraging footprint: [url]http://www.satellites.co.uk/php-bin/forum/showthread.php?threadid=5713[/url] Has anyone here got any sense out of any local dealer? If so, which? E-mail me if you prefer. Thanks again. John [/QUOTE]
