Oh, it just means that they are not quite sure if they are correct, like beta sofware, it is under test.

I normally use the maps in Lyngsat as a rough guide.

are they the ones that have pink blue and yellow coloured rings around them giving power (eirp) and then the dish size next to the map

Yep, that's them, they are approximate, as you can often pickup stuff that is way outside, or sometimes you should be able to pick up but you can't, but still useful as a guide.

still quite a bit with a 60 cm dish then.

robbo71 · 03-04-08, 10:09 PM

Oh yes, but 1W and 16E are probably out for starters, and of course 26E.

What about a mesh dish or a transparent one?

My wife would not allow me to put my dish up either, so I waited until she had gone out and put it down the bottom of the garden on a pole.

Stupid women, what exactly have they got against a good and honest big-ol satellite dish.
