This might help some people that are interested in the reception of Sky in Greece, especially speaking of the difficult Astra 2D:
Full 2A+B Northern beam reception in southeastern parts of Greece like Rhodos and Crete can be gotten with a well aligned 2.40m, in worst case 3m. There the Eurobird 1 NW-beam is very weak so i cannot say if a 3.70m is enough or not.
In Athens you can get full 2A+B with only 1.20m offset, the Eurobird 1 NW-beam needs 1.50m Offset at least.
Here some reports i had the last years about Astra 2D:
Kavos (Kerkyra/Corfu): H partly with 2.40m-3m Channel Master PFA
Kastoria: H partly with 2.40m DH PFA
Kozani: H partly with 2.40*2.70m Offset Supral
Larisa: H partly with 3m Channel Master
Athina (Athens): H partly with 3.70m, full with 5m
Laganas (Zakynthos): H partly with 3m, full H with 4.80m, full H+V with 5-5.5m
Rodos: V starting on 2.40m, H partly on 5m
Kriti (Crete): 5-6m for some BBCs, no further info so far
Hortiatis mountain Thessaloniki: 6.40m full reception of 2D
No guarantee for the data since i've been collecting them from greek sat-fora.
If any new information appears i will post it. If anyone knows more please be so free to do the same.
