My Satellite Setup
60 cm - Astra 19,2 fix dish. Installing a 1,8 m prime focus to Astra-Eutelstat 28.2
My Location
Granada, Spain
Hi. I had build a 1.8 prime focus dish form spares. I use an old thompson sky-box which get signal from 28.2. I can watch sky news and a lot of channel from this satellites, but (and it is a big one) I can´t get BBC and the others.

Is it possible from here?.
My LNB is a "china" one... 0,1 db.

Thanks
 
MUCH bigger dish needed in southern Spain!
Have a look at the link in my signature.
 
Oh my ....
But, I don´t understand how can get signal just 400 kms to the east with the same size!

Thanks, anyway.... Web player for the BBCs
 
400km!!!???

Our installers who were doing some research were seeing serious signal dropoff over 5km when 2E went into service :D

Because on the fringes the footprint contours are not nice and regular, as they are in the target area, but instead can have narrow side lobes and correspondingly sharp nulls.

This makes prediction nigh on impossible and instead we rely upon empirical evidence.
