I am moving to Gdansk for 1 year, I have a freesat box, can I get freesat there? & if so, what size of dish will I require.
Thanks in advance

An 80cm dish and a descent LNB is all you need mate.

Dont bother. Many of the Freesat channels are carried on Astra 2D and you will need a BIG dish in Gdansk for that one. You are looking nearer 2m than the 80 cm MrM suggested.

Yes definatly need much bigger than an 80cm for 2d. Take a look at lyngsat Astra 2D at 28.2°E - LyngSat to see what u won't pick up without a 2m+ dish
