[QUOTE="renibacterium, post: 620256, member: 175991"] I have posted this information on several other forums...... The situation with Nilesat is really very simple. If you want vertical channels this is pretty easy with a reasonable sized dish. If you want horizontal channels then you will need a much bigger dish. Here is a guide I produced for another forum:- With regards to the UK and Nilesat 7W reception, the further east and the further south you are, the better the signal. The further west and north you go the weaker the signal. Reception is also better when the weather is good and gets better from about 9pm in the evening till about 4 or 6am in the morning and then weakens through the day hours.
