Strangely the SES 2D footprint stops dead at 44dBW eirp which equates to about 120cm.

Why it doesn't go down to 38dBW (220cm), as many charts do, I don't know - unless it's pressure from the UK Providers.

This is 6,2m dish installed at Heraclion, Crete to receive Astra 2D. It's supposed to have full coverage all day.

That'd do it.

@ colboy
Ask them to fit a quad LNB and give you a connection :D
