Hi again ! Your areas of reception above show two areas ( Astra 2A and 2B North Beam) which , even using the same dish show different geographical areas of coverage. How come same everything, yet two different areas of reception please.

Hi Briantist. I bought a satellite system from Lidl,complete with car roof top dish and attachment suckers for travelling. Even when in stable location rubbish reception, as the wind affected the small rubber dish too much BUT when attached to a separately purchased 60" metal dish and attatched to the house, facing South, I can receive German channels just by VERY slightly moving dish more to the East. OK ?

I'm told that the solid dish does not receive as well as a the porous/pasta strainer dish ? And the oblique (Not fully circular) shape as in the SKY model is also best.Is all this true ? Does it matter ? Thanks

Can we, here in Sth. Ireland, get free to air TV from USA in real time (e.g. NBC FOX ABC etc ? What size dish and coordinates would work ? (Brian Bitterworth seems to be off-line still).

Is Nth.American Satellite TV reception achievable in Ireland, e.g. ABC or NBC live from Chicago ? Are there many free to air USA channels ? I use ASTRA 28.2 here with my own free-to-air box normally. Do I need to switch to Galaxy or Eutelsat or some other satellite ? Also we have Astra 23.5 and 19.8 +/-. Which is best for us here please. Thanks.
