Hi, just wondering how big dish I need to receive czech channels on ASTRA 3b, footprint of astra 3b pan-uropean beam http://www.ses-astra.com/medialib/content/Footprint_Graphics/Footprint_Graphics_23.5_East/0_astra_3b_pan_european_beam_pe2_downlink_M.jpg shows that I might get it with 60 cm dish, trying to get it for couple days but no luck, will be happy for any advice. Thanks

You should be able to get it on a 60cm dish. I have managed it with no trouble on a Sky zone 2 in Donegal, with a good strong signal.

Thx for quick reply, do you have any tips how to point my dish to find it? I'm living near to Fethard Co.Tipperary. Have 60 cm dish universal single lnb and receiver is opticum 4160cx plus, I was able to get hotbird and astra 19.5, is astra 3b any close to them? Probably stupid questions but I'm totally newbie..thanks

If you're on 19E, you need to point the dish slightly down and to the left (as you stand behind the dish). If you get to 28E, you've gone too far.

Helps to have a beeper, so that you can hear the increase in signal strength as you move through orbital positions.
