Welcome to the forum mehdi17

Well Eutelsat W2 is now at 10East and does not have that bouquet of channels showing as being transmitted

So really nobody can answer your question until you either correct it or update it

Hi there, In fact i see that the satellite im conencted to is eutelsat 16.0 degree East.. it broadcasts lots of premium channels.
I have the subscription card. the problem is that i am from mauritius, and moving to cape town.
I wanted to know if i get someone to point a dish to that satellite, could i still use my decoder and card there?I mean do the companies have a system of restricting the availbility of the channels, even if I have a subscribers card, but using it in a different country?
thanks

Its W2A at 10E, W2 is still at 16E.

According to the footprint map the Indian Ocean beam does leak into Southern Africa, although its likely you will need a big dish (2m plus) for it.

Hi Mr Mehdi ,

concerning parabole in south Africa, we have an agent that deals
with parabole in joburg , unfortunatly the beam does not reach capetown

Am from Secunda, Mpumalanga province.

The lyngsat map show that my region is covered:
_http://www.lyngsat-maps.com/maps/ew2_madagascar.html

with 46 dB.. so looks like i will need a 65-95cms dish.

My GPS location is approx -26.494754,29.223590

_http://maps.google.com/?q=-26.494754,29.223590

Can some1 tell me the exact dish size that i will need.. and if parabole south africa (agent) can provide me with decoder and smart card?
