I have a couple of questions regarding your set up.
1) Were you able to get reception of the channels moved to 2F?
2) My location is near Iznajar, Cordoba, postcode 14970, from your experiences do you think that I would get reception of 2F/2E with this dish?
Is the dish/wall mount still for sale? If so how much?

In reply dish is still for sale at the same price that won't change.
Yes i was able to get pretty good reception but only at certain times of the day any other time it would drift of and then come back the later or the next day...
As for would you I would like you to buy the dish BUT I don't think you have a hope in hell of getting proper reception on this dish where you are I do know the area so i wouldn't let anyone tell you different unless they are prepared to fit and show it you working before you pay a penny. ( On a No Worky No Payee Basis LOL).
But to be honest things haven't finish yet they are still tweaking. Another thing is this is a 1.8 Dish with the gain of a 2m. I don't know much but i personally think you would struggle with a 2.5m...But i could be proved wrong trouble is you normally pay to try bit of a quandary really if you are doing it yourself...
I used to fit Dishes before retiring and being ill with all the best gear and these are the problems I still had...
I hope this as been of some help to you if you want you can still buy my Dish.. ;-)

Thanks for the honest opinion about the situation. Thanks for the honest opinion about the situation. I guess that's what I feared, and as you say they have not yet finished testing 2E. Had your experiences been a bit more positive then I would have been prepared to give it a try, at this stage I will leave it and see what happens. Not sure where this leaves things though, 2.4m dishes are very expensive and not everyone can accomodate it.
Thanks again.

Leave it a few months Skyblue Sam, at least until we have a better idea of whats going to be possible where.

If you have to have uk tv there are various IPTV services available nowadays.

I completely agree they haven't finished yet. And many people think sky will still be on the European beam so if you can afford it there should be a fall back..
