    I have 1.1 metre dish, is it possible to receive 42E Turksat 3A in Ireland?

    I have notice that Idman TV is showing the Man Utd V Stoke game FTA on Sunday.

    Not a hope I am afraid. That channel is on an eastern beam.

    NO size of dish will give east Beam. Maybe 3m dish in Italy. Not here. The East beam is nice and strong in INDIA! :)

    I read that a 3m dish would get you it in England, so i presume it might be the same for us

    Mate in Belfast used to have it. Officially an 80cm dish is supposed to be enough for the West beams but he was having problems with missing/breaking up channels (particularly in rain) You need an uniterrupted view to the South East (satellite is low in the Sky and its easy for something to be in the way) or else a dish mounted high up. Also the LNB skew angles are a bit mad.

    I get the West beams fine in Limerick. Some channels are OK on 80cm but some are still weak on 110cm.

    How things have changed I remember after the post TV2 Norway days (Analogue), that the next free place to get EPL was 42east. I remember watching it on NTV Sport on a 60cm ex sky dish with basically no problems!!! With my current set up i cant get anything past 39east due to obstructions.
