[QUOTE="Old Satellite, post: 49409, member: 175277"] Ok now i understand your Why, The 12110 H transponder on Astra 2 b south includes Sky sports 1,2,3 , and the Transponder footprint (the area of signal Coverage) extends to the northern part of the Med with a 1.2 mtr dish. However your location in Egypt is not so simple. You are I would estimate approx 1500 Km outside of the normal coverage area. However there are good reports from several areas of Egypt mainly Cairo of the reception of Astra 2b with 2.4 3.0mtr and this includes several Astra 2b northern beam transponders as well on the same dish. I would estimate for your location a solid high quality 3.7 mtr would be a safe option and a 3.1 mtr may also prove to be suitable. please ensure that all the equipment is high quality feed horn/ LNB and that the installation is to a very high quality level. Do not forget also how you will registar for your card - UK only Please note that you will not recieve Astra 2 D channels from this dish. regards Old Satellite [/QUOTE]
