    Even in Dublin. No.

    4 degrees below the horizon. You'd need a very big trench/tunnel coming out in France.

    http://www.smw.se look for free SW download.

    The Horizon is for satellites about 70E in Dublin, as you go west from Dublin, it's worse,
    Limerick about 68E.

    France or Netherlands maybe is nearest you'll get it.

    Then there is beam to consider:
    http://www.lyngsat-maps.com/maps/thai2_regional.html
    It's an eastern pointing beam on most of C-Band and a Thai beam on Ku Band.
    There is a "Global" C-Band beam
    http://www.lyngsat.com/thai78.html
    It likely needs a 3.4m dish or larger no more west than Eastern Europe.
    East France would be the limit for C-Band "Global"

    (Red line is edge of viable LOS, "global" is equal or less, shaded area is "regional beam", KU Thai beam likely even less)

    Read an article a little while ago about the possibility of satellites transferring signals between them to be rebroadcast from other satellites.
    Do any currently do this or are all signals uplinked and broadcasted back down on same satellite?
    It would be a cheaper option than digging that tunnel through France;)
    Just wondering would you get an extra degree or 2 if you put your dish on some of our highest mountains?
