[QUOTE="indios_se, post: 53587, member: 176036"] the 2d horizontal channels i think certainly no problem there. in fact you could well do it with quite a bit smaller size dish. the problem with sweden is the fact that the side-lobed 2d signal slopes heavily in favour of the 2d horizontal channels, the vertical channels on 2d pay the price heavily and are a lot harder to pick up. this is also a big problem, because it means you can't accurately look at a map of europe and compare signal strengths with other countries. also as you would be the first person to attempt this with size of dish it's very hard to know, as there is noone to compare with, apart from people with 1.8 and 2metre dishes in your area. there is also another problem in sweden too, which is when the signal dips in the evening and then regains strength again in the early hours. bear in mind the 2d vertical channels are only: ITV2 The AMP Scuzz Flaunt Sky Travel Sky Travel Extra ITV (some regional variations) Sky sports extra interactive,(i listed this because it stops you picking up the champions leagues interactive and other Sky sports interactive services channel on Sky ) BBC (some regional variations) the type of dish you're on about would also need expert fine tuning, without it you probably wouldn't even pick up 2d, and i think it would need to be done with a spectrum analyser. i've heard actually that a pub, i think its the dubliners pub in gothenburg have put a big dish on their roof, if they are picking up 2d vertical there it could be a help. maybe you can drop them a mail and ask if they have itv2 ? :) rich [url]http://connect.to/skysweden[/url] [/QUOTE]
