ADVICE TO N.IRELAND VIEWERS

[MOUSEDOG]

hi everyone,im posting this message 2 warn anyone in n.ireland whos thinking of getting TRING 4 the footy not 2 buy a dish under 110cms.i got recommended a 80cm dish by 3 sat suppliers in england,but erring on caution bought a 90cm dish,still no good.luckily enough maplin took it back.so its true what they say,size does matter.QUESTION,,can i rig up my sky and technomate recievers to the one tv.one 4 the freeview and one 4 tring.iv got 2 sats,,thanks

here near london tring has to be the worst picture quality of anything ,, its so bad

[MOUSEDOG]

seem 2 b a bollocks of a sat,wondering if i should put the lot on e,bay and go back 2 sky,or just stream from myp2p.fcuk it

[smirnoff_rules]

l use a 90 in uk and its ok , pictures not first class anyway even with a supper dish .. dont get any breakup and lm using a share not a card

[MOUSEDOG]

cheers m8,if i thought id get it sorted id stick with it but it seems to be crap.havent got my other dish up yet,just my sky free channels,,,

[Ansem]

for uk and Irl I would recommend a 1.2m dish to be safe
I use a 1.2m channel master for tring as I had constant problems with a 1m

[darlowad]

I have a 80cm in west mids

S 90%
Q 60-70%

no probs at all

picture isnt the best but for the amout of EPL screened its perfect for me

1-1.1m is pretty standard for N.I. to clear most channels, wouldnt worry too much about tring you're not missing much. Sub standard picture quality on SD no HD afaik.

[MOUSEDOG]

thanks 4 that lads.still undecided..

i get tring with no break up in ire wiyh 80cm dish.
buy a good 90 or 100cm dish .2 lnb and someone half decent with a proper meter to set it up and you wont have any problems!
if alighned properly it can be viewed in good weather on a zone2 sky dish in ire! (i watched the first few games of season on a zone2 with icecrypt .1 lnb.

Well if he cant pick up Tring he has absolutely no chance of picking up Viasat in Northern Ireland.You'd need a huge dish.

either the dish arm must be bent or dish not levelled properly coz 90 is more than enough fortring in n ireland.

Aye, I get Tring with a 80cm dish in Derry - quality only 35-40% but ok
