[QUOTE="timo_w2s, post: 935716, member: 196043"] Just for fun I set up an old 42cm Sky zone 1 dish with a Sky Visiblewave Quad looking at 28E on my balcony in Helsinki and was able to pick up all the Astra 2G Europe transponders with no problem. Obviously all other transponders where not receivable. Not even a flicker from 2E Europe or 2F Europe.
