[QUOTE="sophie101, post: 1022647, member: 404409"] Hi, It's been years so thought I'd update. I found an old 80cm Nokia dish for free with a broken LNB mount. I attached the LNB with a cable tie and have reasonable signal from 28.2e, but lost channels during heavy downpours. This has sufficed for a year. My Philips TV has a builtin DVB-T and DVB-S2 and a CI+ slot and Diseq 1.2 :) I've friends with Sky zone 1 minidish's with excellent reception of the Freesat channels in Brussels, and read some people had reliable 28.2e reception in Aachen Germany which is further away than Liege. I like the minidishes because they are smaller and less intrusive. Keeping life simple, I'll ditch my hobbling 80cm and buy 2 x Sky minidishes. The sky dishes can be pointed at 28.2E and at 5W. If France government decided to encrypt the channels on 5W then I can easily buy a CAM for Fransat for 90Eurs. Their cards don't expire. I will buy one at a time and test each sateliite first so that if I find 28.2 or 5w reception is poor then I can buy a zone 2 minidish instead. lygnsat has France TV listed as FTA on 5w: [B]11509 H [/B]tp KB8 [URL='http://www.lyngsat-maps.com/footprints/Eutelsat-5-West-A-Wide.html']Wide[/URL] 48 If I read well.
