Hi people,
Just looking for help & advice in a similar situation as 'jimmyf' as I have signed up for a 2 year contract with Viasat, the difference been I'm located in Jersey in the channel Islands, a lot further south. What I'm looking for if someone can help me is weather I should be able to receive the Nordic beam from the Sirius 2/3 Satellites?
And then if so (which I'm hoping I can :-worship ) what size dish would be required.
I've checked out the various footprint diagrams & can see I'm out side of them. !

Although using:

seems to give me a bit more confidence that I can, but not been that clued up with satellites & having no way of just going out side with some form of measuring device, take a few readings & been able to say with confidence that I would need such a size dish really annoys me, its just so difficult.
Cheers for any help
