RTE, BBC & ITV ON ASTRA 2!!!!
Hi I have a question which I very much need help with. As I understand it RTE, ITV and now BBC are all transmitted from astra 2d, I understand that the footprint of 2d is tight and focused on Ireland and uk. However I am on the west coast of Turkey and with a 5m dish I can receive itv with almost always perfect reception unless weather is very bad. But I can not receive rte or bbc channels (obviously I have 2 skyboxes 1 with subscription for northern Ireland (itv and channel 4) and one from republic of Ireland (rte etc.). what is the difference here surely they must all be same? What can I do to receive them all- bigger dish, different LNB???? Any help or theories please, I can even except to be told that it’s not possible, I just want to be able to know that it’s not.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Ronan Glynn.
