- I have the standard 60cm dish and a PACE HDTV receiver set up to pick up German channels on the Astra 1 group of satellites

- Berlin, Germany
As a complete lay person, and as someone with very little technical experience I have a question regarding the reception of Freesat UK programmes (BBC 1, 2 etc plus regions, ITV plus regions) here in the Eastern part of Germany. I have a 60cm dish and a PACE Premiere HDTV Digital receiver which I use to pick up free German channels on the Astra 1 group of satellites at 19.2 East. How can I pick up from here Freesat UK programmes on the Astra 2 group of satellites (28.5 East)? It seems to me that all UK BBC programmes are being transmitted on Astra 2D and, unfortunately, the "footprint" is such that I cannot receive those programmes here in Berlin (I would need a dish of at least 1.5m diameter with no guarantee of a good reception). Can anyone give advice?
