Am i able to receive astra2 in lebanon middle east?
I have a 110 CM dish and i am able to receive hotbird at 84% Q

Footprint maps available here:

I would not hold much hope out for the UK spot beams unless you have a very large dish

I heard there's a sat called astra2E which broadcasts to the middle east, can i pick up the sky UK pack on that?

I doubt it , the 2e with sly uk broadcasts to a small footprint over the uk/ireland and northern france and most people in cyprus and portugal etc have lost the uk channels, so I would say no chance if you are farther afield

And as Ramjet stated in his post above there are no UK channels broadcast on that footprint and there probably never will be, The clue is in the 'UK' bit

Astra28E signal Bands

For anyone interested to see where the signal is possible in Europe.you can see the epicentre is over the UK.between The heavy deep red bands are the weakest signals where it?s next to impossible to receive any signal The following thin black in between lines are the "ripples" of signal strength.where very large dishes in good clear weather could get a weak signal.
