[QUOTE="2old4this, post: 18737, member: 174998"] Enschede look here [url]http://www.satellites.co.uk/php-bin/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3823&perpage=15&pagenumber=3[/url] You will see that theoretically all of Italy falls outside the footprint of Astra2D. There is no way to work out what size dish you need since you fall so far outside the footprint. And the size of dish needed increases exponentially as you approach the fringe area. At a certain point, no size of dish will do the job. The only thing you can do is hope that by good fortune some leakage of the signal occurs. As Rolf states, keep your eyes and ears open for reports from other users - or else go to a satellite dealer in your area and try to persuade him to point his largest dish at 28.2e. He can test the signal strength on any transponder even if he doesn't have an actual digibox to decrypt it. 2old PS: I'm intrigued. You live in Italy but your nick is the name of a Dutch town. Are you Dutch? [/QUOTE]
