[QUOTE="Fisty McB, post: 970191, member: 389824"] I'm not sure you and me are in the same level of reception prediction, AS. IIRC you live around the Scottish Borders near a town called Galashiels and from footprint maps for Turksat 3A's West Beam, you'd be roughly just outside the 50dbW contour - where I'd agree you'd have a reasonable chance with a Sky Zone 2 dish. In my case, the nearest town being Omagh, I'm right on the inside edge of the 46dbW contour, so a potential signal strength difference of 2-4db. That's asking a lot of even a Zone 2 dish with a rugged FEC with S2-QPSK modulation. [ATTACH=full]92918[/ATTACH] There definitely is, for myself anyway, a noticeable difference between signal levels on the West beams of 3A & 4A. Even the 2A West beam comes in stronger than 3A's.
