Hi Anthoni, My father had a very similar problem, in that at the beginning he was able to get all the FTV channels on his old Panasonic 30 model. Then all of the sudden he lost his channels and got the infamous "no satellite signal being received" for no apparent reason. At first I thought that...

Hi Tony, Could you give me more details on how or you got the info about the 2.40 dish size 100 miles south of Rome. I live about 40 km south of Rome, Frascati to be precise, I have a 1.20m disk and can see Ch4 & Ch5 but am unable to see the BBC channels. Before paying out quite a few euro for a...

Cheers Meatball, We've just set up a 2.40m dish a work in Frascati, A lot closer than were you are. Only problem is that it has an industrial LNB, (what ever thats suposed to mean). Anyway thanls for the info. Will type the 2.40 out sometime next week I hope, that's if work let me. Would like...

Well I must admit that it looks like the region Lazio is a major Black Hole when it comes down to finding out the dish size needed to get Astra 2D. I've read about everyone else managing to find the right dish size and telling everone. There has been only one mail about someone using a 4.5m...

Hi All, Is there any news on anyone in the Rome area and suburbs that can now get Astra 2D. I tried with a friend any work a 2.20m dish with negative results. I'm gonna try a 2.40m dish hopefully at the end of the month. I just don't understand that someone in Cyprus can get astra 2D, with a...

Well, I tried out a 2.2m dish in Frascati and can definitely confirm that you can not pick up astra 2D. Hopefully will try a 2.4m sometime in the near future. Thanks

Antoni.. It looks like the power from the tronsponder astra 2d has been turned up and people who has lost the bbc channels are getting them back.... Just maybe that could mean that the dish size for Rome may have reduced considerable... The power on the astra2d transponder went up around the...

thanks everyone for your replys. A least we can keep this thread fixed around the Rome area. Athoni are you sure about the 3m dish.....? Thanks:)

I've decided to start a new thread because i wasn't getting a clear picture on what dish size is needed for ROME!!!!!!! I don't wanna know about Mordena ,Milan,Venice, Ovieto. I jsut need to know if anyone can recieve BBC ?ITV in or around the ROME area? Any help from people living around ROME...

Hi Andy, I'm gonna have to check on exactly what kind of LNB. All I know is that it's a low frequency 0.3db one. Strange ... I live just outside South of Rome and have a 1.20m dish and get C4 all day and night without problems. Are you using the north beam of sky....(07d4) heard that there was...

Hi Mark, I think I know the Pub.. Is it Finigan's? There are a few Irish pubs around that area. i.e. Druids Rock, Druids, Fiddlers & Marconi's, All owned by the same people except Finigan's. They all show Sky but do not get ITV1 which means that they cannot get Astra 2D. But the Eurosat place...

Hi Meatball & denis1501. Denis1501, you'd best ask Meatball a 3.8 metre patriot antenna, I wouldn't know. Meatball, I couldn't find Montatattico on a map. How far south of Rome are you? I live between Frascati and Rome, lets say at the begining of the Castelli's. As I live in a block of flats...

Thanks for the input 2old4this, I've found one or two sites that say that you my need a 2m dish, but before forking out quite a bit of money, I just wanted to make sure. But I''ll take your advice about persuading a local satallite dealer to test first. The dutch town is were my wife comes...

Hi Denis1501 & Rolfw, I'm new to this site and am looking fir info too. Anyway I can at least help Denis1501. I live just south of Rome (Castelli Romani) and am able to receive Astra 2a North & South beam with a 1.20m dish without problems. The only channel I can't receiver with the FTV card is...
