[QUOTE="bignick, post: 344022, member: 190163"] Hi The reason that Astra 2D is so weak and irratic in southern Europe is that it is on whats called a 'Sidelobe' Realistically the signal souldn't get as far as us but it does because of these sidelobes. I believe it is more than just an accident that they are strongest where Brit Holiday makers & Expats live, a friend in the business told me that sidelobes can be 'tuned' this way. However, as analoguesat quite rightly says, you can get almost everything else except BBC & ITV with a much smaller dish (around 1.5m should be ample) and a Sky subscription. This seems a sensible compromise in your situation. I (or one of the other posters) will fill you in on how to do it if you are interested. Cheers Nick [/QUOTE]
