Eutelsat W4 in DK

[eranmichel]

Hi
Is it possible to get the Russian beam in Aarhus DK? according to all footprints it doesnt cover Aarhus but maybe with a large dish (2.40?) it is possible?
Thanks

Well yes looking at the footprint in theory it does look possible in Denmark with a large dish above 2mtr but as with all fringe reception theory does not always translate into practice so hopefully a European member can confirm that:-

I have heard reports here in Latvian forums, that Eutelsat W4 is recievable till Berlin. After that, signal strength drops radically...
But, Eutelsat W7 is a different story. No fringe reports since the start on 15th of January, so can't say anything.

Lots of fringe reports for the W7 sub saharan beam in the UK!!

Uhh, Multichoice Africa... Nice. But with that sentence I tought the situation with Russian beam.

Thanks guys for the answers.
I am not sure if I understood correctly, the sub saharan beam is available in the uk?! which dish can get this beam?

In Oldenburg a 2.7m Laminas dish had been installed by satshop24.de 2 years ago if i remember well. W4 Russia Beam was received but not on a high level. Since Denmark is more to the East and North, a smaller dish will do. To recommend a certain size it would require some reports from the nearby located people. Unfortunately i haven't seen any yet. I guess a high quality 2.40m should do the job using a circular LNB but be aware of possible disturbances from the Sub Saharan Beam of W7 if the signal levels are of similar strength in Aarhus.
