Are you aware that those two satellites transmit in "C" band. you can find the footprints via Flysat.

I used to get most of the C-Band Transponders from near Manchester with a 2m Prime Focus but the Channels can vary quite a bit in level from one to the other. Let us know which Channels or Transponders you are looking for and someone will give you the required dish size.

Sportsmax is on the West Hemi beam which is Americas so its going to be very weak in Europe. I havent received this channel myself in Europe but the footprint says that the 33dBW line ends way before the mid atlantic and you would need an approx 2m dish for the 33dBW line so I think you have very little if any chance of getting this one.

Cheers.
