I have received 7W on a 1.2M dish here in Northern France. However in Denmark, you are well outside it's footprint. I'd imagine you'd need a dish of at least 2.4M and probably larger. We may have forum members nearer to you who could give better advice.

Badr 4 - you will probably get stable reception with an 1,2 m. However this bird is almost 14 years old and nobody knows how long it will stay active.

@Dia M2030 I asked abut maximum size of the dish to say something like: "Install the biggest dish you can" ! Then, for sure you will always be able to receive channels you are looking for.

So, then install "something like that" :rolleyes: and then you know you are at your limits.

With 1m dish you will, for sure, get better reception than with 0.8m dish. Will 1m dish be enough to get all channels?! Probably not, but you will maybe get some.

@Dia M2030 go to satbeams.com and look footprints. But easiest way is to turn your antenna and see what you can get.

No chance since the solitary frequency on the European beam was turned off a few months ago.

I fear for the worst when Badr 4 is replaced. Other satellites at this spot are not easy to receive.
