Hello,
I am looking for some help on wether it is possible to pick up nilesat in north east england and if so what size dish and approx dish costs to enable me to do this.
Many Thanks
 
Forget it - the horizontal polarity channels will require a massive dish - probably over 3m!
 
picking verticals up on a 1.2 in south yorkshire from teatime on like analogue says horizontals are impossible
 
iam in south of england(near portsmouth) with 1.8m dish and i have nothing from nilesat, you will be lucky to pick up anything with 3m dish.

There must be something seriously wrong with your setup if you get nothing from Nilesat at all. ( I would have thought). As The verticals are easily achievable not too far down the coast in Brighton, on a dish half that size.
 
is your dish ok mikeisyou the verticals are a piece of cake

Is it one of those bloody awful Fortec 1.8m dishes that Maplins sell by any chance??
 
I have a 2.4mtr fortecstar from maplins & I can pick up all transponders on 7 west sweet as a nut
