Im living in Sweden and want to know if anyone living on the fringes of the Sky footprint can get a signal and what equipment they use?

Hi Jim

Depends what part of sweden you're in really. Most parts need 1.8m dish but I think that smaller dish will do in Stockholm as there's a strong side lobe covering there.

This should be some help

theres a friend of mine who lives about 40 miles south west of Stockholm and can receive sky with the sky mini dish that he brought over with him,he gets a lot of drop outs on the BBC,s though.He is talking about investing in a bigger dish in the near future.

However, bear in mind that this may all change when the new satellites are launched.
