Sid what do you recon is the minimum dish size required to pick up 7 West (Showtime) in SW Scotland / NW England?

wod · 08-08-07, 08:24 PM

probably around 3.5metres but even thats a guess

fergiz · 08-08-07, 08:32 PM

I can forget that then

nanochickin · 08-08-07, 08:33 PM

Kin big i would say

Try something like this, Its only 85ft wide, Should get showtime with this sucker no problem

On a serious note i would have a tendency to agree with Wod on this one. I can just about get stuff off Atlanticbird 4 at 7w in the Midlands but only when its clear and about 2am in the morning

If I go to 8West and store TP 11862 V 27500(One of the Showtime TP's) and then nudge my dish east roughly 1 degreeI am picking up channels called

TV1 11862 v TELEC
TV2 11862 v TELEC
TV3 11862 v TELEC
TV4 11862 v TELEC
TV5 11862 v TELEC
PORTADA
PORTADA

They all seem to be Digital+ testcards can anyone tell me what satellite they are coming from?

When they are open the other scanned 8West channels don't.

There is no current data available for anywhere north of Manchester as far as I am aware, but at a guess something around 3m would be the very minimum for the H polarity Showtime stuff

Hi guys im north of Manchester just.On my 1.8 c/master with c120 F/horn i can get some signel from hor @ night in very good wether.Saying this the signel is very weak here,most of the time pic brakes up.Maybe a 2.4 dish might work where i am @ night in all wether?hmmmmmm,but in the day that still might not be enough.From SW Scotland i would think a bigger dish would be needed than mine.The more north you are the weaker the signel from 7 west.As for signel some sats are stronger in the south,but other sats are stronger in the north.Its Swings & round-a-bouts.
