I think the following links are worth checking:-

You can make your own judgement, but I see Rhodes (bottom right of Greece map) as being in the 35db area, which equates to 300cm (3m dish).

50-75 europe beam if he has a 2.4 dish the signal will be no problem look elsewhere alignment lnb ect

[satwyn]

further to my reply lyngsat states signal at 48db hispasat 1c so my reply could be wrong for cabo I would go with the reply drpaulos gives

[lennono]

thanks guys,i`ll tell him what you`ve said(he`s got a bar full of spurs fans who want the match tomorrow!!!) but it would be nice if someone from rhodes came on with their info;)

as an afterthought,is c+ france open on the dragon cam?

[drpaulos]

No it is not, but Prem on Astra19E is, and the match is listed as being a 3pm kick off on the Prem Sport Portal. I don't know if it will be like last season, but they match hopped all the live EPL matches at 3pm. Not ideal I know, but better than nothing.

yeah,saw that fella but he says he cant get astra 1F either!greeks and headless chickens spring to mind at the mo trying to get this match!!!!!!!:D:D:D:D

[drpaulos]

The only things I can think of are keep checking LJ's in case they list a channel carrying the match that can be received in Rhodes with a 2.4m dish, and / or try the feeds section. I can't see anything listed yet, but there might be something posted nearer the time.

If your friend has a bar and wants to be able to show EPL matches, I recommend he gets a Showtime sub (or N0va or course). There are receivers such as the Fortec Star Innovative, and the NanoXX 9600IP that clear both N0va and Showtime (plus a number of other packages), without a sub - using C/S.
