best dish to buy

Also, there are Laminas (Fibreglass) and Mabo dishes (From Poland)

Based on the intended footprints, I doubt you'll get anything other than the European beam.

Maybe someone that's actually tried it can give a definitive answer.

I wouldn't get your hopes up.

I live in the uk West Yorkshire what sise dish do u need get 4 west at the moment iv got a 1meter dish I’m hoping to buy a1.5 meter dish from Italy will there be vat charge at customs on it thanks car123

What channels on 4w are you looking at i can take look with my 1.3 x 1.2 but it wont be until tomorrow. Its very close to my end limit on the bigger dish.

I am thinking is 1.5 going to get the signal what sort of signial u getting I’m. % s

I have not tried that satellite but when i get a moment i will try and will in some channels.

I get 53 E to 30 W no problem on my 80 cm.

But I don't expect to get anything that I am outside the footprint of.

I believe technically there is stuff I should be able to get even further east, but there's a house in the way (I think).

EDIT:

Go here and have a look: https://www.lyngsat.com/europe.html

It changes based on your location.

Here's what I see:

Green should be no issue, yellow might need a larger dish and orange means you need a massive dish and luck, basically.

Chris230291 Thanks, for the tip. I never noticed before

Also bear in mind that the colour code just shows the best beam.

Don't expect to get a Middle East beam just because the sat shows green (because you are in the centre of the European beam, for example).

try to do (or dpkg equivalent)

Code

opkg install --force-reinstall --force-overwrite /tmp/*.ipk

5 Servers looks like the old Script.

(old Plugin version did download and overwrite the fca script, so the new server fetching was overwritten)

(or you somehow start the "old" script from a custom location)

Finally, the extra lines are due to the FCA.sh file (they could not be due to an external file).

Replace the FCA.sh file in the SimpleZOOMPanel/Centrum/Tools/ directory and give it permissions of 755.

It downloads 22 lines, including the "s2.cccampri.me" line.

You should download the ultimate version of the plugin Simple Zoom 2.2.4 and it downloads more than 35 servers .

I did an experiment to satisfy my curiosity.

On Edision osmio+ I flashed a fresh image (OpenATV-7.5-osmio4kplus-20241124_usb) and installed only the ZOOM plugin

(enigma2-plugin-extensions-simple-zoom-panel_2.2.0_all).

I installed the CURL library (inside the plugin) and downloaded free lines.

Only 7 lines were downloaded and not 68, which downloads the OpenATV I use.

So the extra lines are due to some other file or plugin that I don't know what it is.

any boday no of a good delivery firm that will deliver from itialy then bring it back to the uk

Courier rates are crazy at the moment as you are trying to buy something really big but just as the couriers are at their busiest. Just as a example i brought a 1.2m x 80cmx 60cm plastic pallet in only weighting 15kgs from italy last week. It arrived today and at cost it was £180.00. The week before i brought something else in and it was £68.00. My normal couriers wanted £360.00. If you want to test prices use interparcel to see how much it would cost you. Couriers companies such as transmec in bradford will charge you about £45.00 import and export charges just for the paperwork.

iv sent interparcel ab email asking how much are there reseanable do u no any one else iv tried UPS but i have to have a acount

Most places you have to have an account that's why interparcel or parcel monkey and any other 3rd party shippers are ok. There is a company in sheffield called 5-1-2 who i use for special items, they have accounts with all the big companies and may allow you to pay via credit card. I cannot guarantee it though.

Just remember though that if you arrange for shipping and anything goes wrong it will be your fault. Take out any insurance to cover yourself, especially something that big and the busiest time of the year.
