[QUOTE="thetempuser, post: 1155541, member: 419530"] The old Astra 2D, was somewhat more forgiving with the footprint, and yes, indeed, there was some fringe reception, during the cold months, mostly in the evenings, with a clear sky and the dish alignment done to the millimeter. I remember locking BBC's top with my 1.8 m dish and feeling like my efforts were not in vain, after enduring a couple of hours in the cold, until i got my dish aligned. After the Astra 2D replacement, the signal footprint, in this region is low, certanlly not enough for tv viewing. And I don't have a 3m dish to check. It's a shame with all the UK expats across Europe, can't get some of their favourite programs from home, VIA SAT. The Uk broadcasters should really copy the german model of broadcasting via satellite, having footprint all over Europe via 19.2E. Instead they encourage viewers to seek alternative methods. I will try and contact Comcast, but I am not having any high hopes. Thank you all for the help. [/QUOTE]
