OK, so with the annual cheese fest coming up in a couple of weeks time, I'd be interested in recording a clean feed (in HD preferably) of the final as I've read is usually provided by the EBU on on 7°E each year.
My questions are; has anyone got experience of receiving these feeds? If so, what size dish is necessary usually? I only have a 60cm dish so I'm guessing this could be a problem with feeds being often lower in power than 'standard TV channel' transponders.
Also, my receiver is a Dreambox 500HD, are the Eurovision feeds in 4:2:2 and if so, is there a way of still recording it using the Dreambox tuner and a computer?
Thanks in advance!
