[QUOTE="billnot, post: 413386, member: 176016"] You will not get them 24 hours per day with a 2,4m or even 3m dish They are on a 2D horizontal transponder (if they were on a vertical you'd get them 24x7 with a 2,4m), and will disappear at night between 1800 and 2100 depending on time of year, weather and dish size. As a yardstick, the 3,6m dish in Torrevieja which feeds most of the CB South microwave services loses BBC2 (also a 2D horizontal) for a couple of hours around 2200. It's a question of how much money you're willing to spend to chase those extra few hours. Maybe a 4,2m would pull them in - I don't know as the 3,6m is the biggest I know of anywhere in the area.
