[QUOTE="billnot, post: 413599, member: 176016"] Polomint, when it comes to reception from Astra 2D, The Costa del Sol and Costa Blanca are worlds apart! The Costa del Sol is in the fortunate position of being in a side lobe; the Costa Blanca is in a very weak spot, centred (as near as makes no odds) on the village of Busot north east of Alicante. To get anything decent at all we need a 2,4m dish. We also have the quirk that the vertically polarized transponders are much easier to get than the horizontally polarized ones. RTE is broadcast on 10744H - a horizontally polarized transponder, which makes it hard for Byrnech to get it (which he knows, which is why he's asking the question). Fortunately for him, Bigastro is some way south of the weak point and so things are not quite so hard as they are further north. I don't have an Irish card to test my own reception (RTE is scrambled). I still think the best idea is to ask the provider who gets it 24x7 what size their dish is. [/QUOTE]
