I think the french spot is one of many they have for French TV or broadband, Ireland has just one (but this leaves out NI/north Donegal) then there are five I think covering UK. However the frequency/polarity is not replicated on adjacent spots, and the Irish one is set to have the same...

That's good news to hear - a bit of common sense! I was going off the colour coded map and frequency allocations data. So I'll have to stick my finger in the air and see what it's like when it gets going. Now this sounds like a right thicko question in my head as I type, but am I correct in...

Thanks for the welcome Analogue, and for the advice. We won't know how it all pans out until (importantly) the French spot is active and then if the NI spot is used for saorsat or not. I'm cool with doing the DIY myself, and a background in IT makes me want to delve in at the reprogramming a...

I thought saorsat on 9E would only be available in the single spot beam that covers most of the rep of Ireland, with interference from the same freq/polarisation combination being used for the french spot covering Calais area, thus preventing any realistic hope of picking up a signal in Britain...
