Just to finally close my thread. I can now receive Czech channels 24/7 on a 100cm dish. I could receive the slovak channels 24/7 on my 80cm dish. I am based in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire. Thank you all once again for your help. :) :) :)

Hi everyone just posting back from my earlier thread. I have now got my 100cm dish up and I am receiving Czech Channels 24/7 with no break up. I am in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire. On my 80cm dish I could receive the slovak channels 24/7. Thank you all again who helped me originally a few months...

just to update everyone as I see a few more threads on the subject. I have my czechlink card now and would say I receive about 14 hours a day ok with an 80cm dish. See initial post for my location. I am assuming a 1m dish may be good enough for my location for 24/7 viewing. I have been told from...

Just noticed at 5.15pm that Ocko and Top TV are perfect strength now not breaking up so just did another search on CZ link transponder and picked up all the channels at 40% strength.....so yippppeeeee..... Maybe get away with a 1m dish?.....I will see if I can borrow a 2nd hand one from a local...

Thanks Paul and Martin for your messages. I will keep you all upto date with my news. :) Andrew. p.s. not a real vicar so no need to be careful with the language ;)

I have had a major success O-Ha I can get the free slovak channels ok....Joj and TA3. Czech TOP TV and Ocko are breaking up. So dish size is my question. :) :) :) no channel catch on Czechlink transponder frequency

Thanks again everyone for your words of wisdom.......its been a big help to stop me going crazy :eek: So if my deductions are correct it is purely about dish size now. I need to pick up 12525V on tp14. So on the same satellite the transponders can vary in strength? If it is dish size does...

Analoguesat, the LNB (hope that is right) is pointing into the apex of a house and I have the dish 6 feet off the ground. what do you think?

thank you all........very quick. I have been onto Lyngsat. I think what I will do is try locating my dish higher on the house and see what I can pick up that way first.

I apologise in advance for being a novice :-DOH! My wife is Czech and I am determined to get the Czech Link package on the Astra 3A satellite. I live in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire (eastern England) and the satellite footprint is showing the same as eastern Czech Republic so I believe I...
