[QUOTE="Moscow Wolf, post: 561969, member: 305136"] Darin, Sorry to disappoint, but you will be a LONG way from the first to receive SKY behind the Iron Curtain; read my post about reception in Moscow (a few posts back). To be honest, I doubt if you will see any watchable channels with only a 1.5 metre dish as the smallest we use here are 2 metre but ideally we should have 2.5 or 2.7 The smallest dish that I have heard of getting anything have been 1.8 metre and they were only installed as the Landlords of the estate wouldn't allow anything larger. Tver is more North West of Moscow on the way to Saint Petersburg so you are not really East of Moscow and I would guesstimate, that you could receive SKY with the right sized dish and equipment. When I first came back here in 1994, the only English I could hear was the Shortwave BBC World Service on a Grundig Yacht Boy and even that was 'iffy' at times trying to follow the football on Saturdays. Good luck [/QUOTE]
