    Astra 3a Swindon

    Matthurt, I am fairly close to Wexford (South Kilkenny), and I am picking up Czechlink on 23.5 24/7, even in pretty heavy rain. I am using a 1.1m Triax with a Tit 0.2 lnb, and a SkyStar 2. With a little bit of dish tweaking, I get a max signal of about 55% on a clear day.

    Kilkenny S.Ireland. 1.1m Triax, Smart 0.2 lnb, Skystar 2. Czechlink 45% strength, 100% quality. Pretty sure it is 24/7 Slovaklink 29% strength, 100% quality. Perfectly watchable but goes in moderate rain.

    Maybe it is boosted here for all the East European workers living in Ireland:) Good bunch of people, by the way.

    Dish size info for Nilesat 7W in western Europe & the UK

    1.1m Triax, Kilkenny, Southern Ireland. Have managed to store channel info for 11823v and 11862v (after a good bit of effort), but have never been able to watch anything- signal is extremely weak. Most of the time I don't get any signal at all. Haven't looked during summer time.

Having read some more threads about astra3 on this forum, I am a bit chuffed:toke: Didn't realise they were so...

    Astra 3a Swindon

    I am getting the Czech Link ( CT24) transponder at the moment and it is pissing rain. I am in Kilkenny, S. Ireland, using 1.1m Triax and Smart 0.2 lnb. The Slovak transponder (Markiza?) is a good bit weaker and disappears during the rain. I am pretty sure I get Czech link channels 24/7, I never...

    super 12 rugby

    Hi people, Just got my first sat receiver a few weeks ago from lidl, comag sl55, and have patched with all x. Does anyone know if any channels are showing super 12, besides sky sports? I am in Ireland. Also, what is the cricket coverage like on satellite? Looks pretty thin (non-existent?)...
