    Astra 2E: Iberia & Balearics Reports

    Am I right in thinking that no-one with any dish size at all has picked up anything in the Algarve from the 2E spot? As yet I haven't heard of a single report from anywhere.

    Probably dish area would be a better idea?

    Astra 2E at 28.2E: General Discussion Part 2

    I find it hilarious we can technically have a worldwide culture where we can all share but this is deliberately hobbled so that "rights holders" can release "content" slowly, region by region, format by format to maximise profit for their shareholders. TV will go the way of music if they carry...

    Would love to hear of anyone with a large dish trying this and getting a result in the null we have here.

    Ola Maximus I don't think any of those channels have moved yet and you'll probably lose them over the next day or 2. (acho amanha ou depois vais perder os tais canais porque apenas a BBC ja mudou para Astra2e, raio restrito ao reino Unido, o ITV e Channel4 ainda ficam na velha maquina)

    Astra 2E: Iberia & Balearics Reports

    So far nothing at all spot beam on any size dish whatsoever in the Algarve. Truly sad to say goodbye to my setup of 12 years and downgrade to Filmon. Only 2Mb net also so no chance of IPTV and the "other" solution probably too buggy to risk 200€ on. Anyone want to buy a HTPC 2TB low power...

    O but what fun trying :) Now how can a get a 5m dish of resin spinning fast enough and without wobbling....might have to put my van on its side and buy one of those kiddy pools...

    Apparantly so. I've heard anecdotally that Val de Lobo's 4m dish gets zilch, and I'm getting Zilch with 2m which used to pull in 2D spot beam no problem. Would love to hear that 3m is possible here.

    Yep, Val de Lobo I think it was with the 4m dish. 4.5 should be doable.hmm

    It would be nice to see a compiled list of what channels are left on the PE beams.

    Theoretical noob question, just how big would you guess a dish need to be to get reception in the Algarve. I have a lot of construction equipment and lots of space and I do love a challenge. I'm thinking a DIY monster dish...

    Nothing from 2E spot beam here in the Algarve with a 2m dish. Used to get 2D no problemo.
