Footy feeds 2E what size dish??

[Evilbert]

Hi guys, does anybody know what size dish i would need in the south of england to pick up the feeds on 2e (Astra 1c)? B&Q are doing a cheapie sd package with a 65cm dish so was hoping to use that as i'm not allowed to spend a fortune.

Cheers mate, I had a look at that already and it only lists 1c in its previous poisition at 4.6e (recommends 70cm for SE). Would it be fair to assume this would be the case for its new position at 2e?

Do these birds go in figure of 8,if yes,i think 3 lnb's might be needed.

Is it phised?? I thought inclined orbit meant tilt dish up further
Am I on totally the wrong track here then. Was thinking it was just a case of having a second dish at a funny angle, didn't realise i was going to have to chase it around the sky!

inclined orbit birds do indeed move in a figure of eight above and below the clark belt but can be "caught" for a couple of hours usually twice a day on standard fixed/motorised systems but there are websites around to aid you in your quest. be warned that if its sports feeds your after they are usually encrypted and/or in dvbs2/4.2.2 also. regards mdt

Cheers guys, didn't realise it was going to be that much of a pain in the a**e!!! I've tried swiging the motorised around to it earlier in the day but picked up nothing so guess it was out of the normal arc. There seems to be feeds from it on saturday in 4:2:0 and unencrypted (lower leagues which is what i was hunting for), but if i'm going to have to swing the dish around wildly, kind of ruins relaxing with beer. Thanks for the info, will have to formulate a new plan.
