Can I receive Hot Bird 2 in Goa ?

[giabar]

Hi everyone.I am an Italian citizen living in Goa, India. I am intrested in receiving Hot bird 2 satellite, but no one retailer here seems to be able to give me any information !It would be great if you could help me bearing in mind that I`m absolutley new at this technology...

Many thanks !!!

I think you are going to struggle with this one.
Some of the Indian boys manage with 3mtr dishes in the North West , but you are such a long way from the footprint of the satellite down in Goa that it may not even be possible with a huge dish. Your best bet would be to ask around in the local area to see what people are getting generally as although retailers will not guarantee reception you may still be in a lucky spot.

hi i heard that mediaset premium the italian channels will be encrypted (pay per view) but is there any way to watch the italian serie in a free to air channel?

It's not 100% hopeless at your location but i fear that you will need a very very big dish. Please take a look at this: http://www.satellites.co.uk/php-bin/forum/showthread.php?t=45438

Also at this time in Sri Lanka some people are trying to get 13E with a 6m dish:

Although i doubt that any of the Superbeam frequencies can be gotten since they are driving us mad in Greece.
