Info on Dish Size

[DaveG2]

Next year those of us that want to watch TV will have a problem as the new Astra 2E and 2F sats will be working.
This year I got all Sky channels as far south as Lyon with a 1mtr dish. When we were in Tarragona the channels on Ch4 and Ch5 which had moved to Astra 2F did not work!! The best info I can find is on the www.astra2forum.com. More info is required to be input, so if you can add to it, with location and dish size then it will help with what size dish we will need .

We are off to Benicassim at the end of December and have been told we will need a 1.2m dish.

Please let us know how you get on with the Sat dish and reception.

I am waiting until I get ther then see how the land lays. I have been told that there is a shop in Benicassim that sells dishes and they are cheaper than here.

Try www.satelliteforcaravans.co.uk for more info on satellite dishes and reception plus lots more - Seems the new satellite has a narrower beam and different footprint on the planet surface.

Hi
We have been to Bonterra Park in Benicassim a few times and have given up now trying to get a signal on a dish because of the increasing size required. We now use the internet on sites in spain and link the laptop to the TV using an HDMI cable. The web site www.filmon.com allows you to watch most uk channels. Hope this helps.
