[QUOTE="deepbluesky, post: 535360, member: 176074"] It's rather hard not to say impossible to predict the exact minimum dish size you'll need in Damascus. Often even small distances in out of footprint areas show a huge difference in signal. Starting with the dutch channels: Forget _[COLOR="SandyBrown"]http://www.lyngsat.com/packages/canaldigitaal23.html[/COLOR]. 23.5E must be far too weak there. I doubt if a 5m dish would suffice. For _[COLOR="DarkOrange"]http://www.lyngsat.com/packages/canaldigitaal19.html[/COLOR] you've got chances to get it. A 3m dish (not hit, not mesh, good quality) should do the job and get also the other frequencies of 19.2E except of Astra 1F. Of course you will need a subscription running under somebody's address in the Netherlands. For the UK programming i would recommend either a 2nd 3m dish or making the other dish motorized. This will bring you also other satellites. This has to be done by professionals. I cannot guarantee that you will get all frequencies of Astra 2A/B and Eurobird 1. Forget Astra 2D which maybe is receivable on 5m, maybe not. For Sky UK you will need a dedicated Sky receiver with a sensitive tuner and subscription running on a british address as many Expats do. More information i am sure can give you other people here on the board. [/QUOTE]
