Hi Val
I have just read this on Facebook posted by Big Dish Satellite:
“Before the great BBC switch to Astra 2E, it was widely assumed that the footprint would be pretty much the same as Astra 2F ... launched a year ago and home to Channel 5 for all that time.
Now that the change has happened, it's clear that the assumption was wrong ... many people are reporting the loss of BBC channels on 2E but are still able to watch Channel 5 on 2F.
For those in that position, there is a little bit of good news in that the Scottish and Welsh versions of BBC One HD are still on 2F and, according to the BBC site, are going to stay there.
If you have an HD receiver ... Freesat, Sky or free to air ... you should be able to programme it to receive BBC One Scotland HD and BBC One Wales HD.
I've just added that information on our new site with programming details for the Manhattan Plazas that we currently provide:

Some od my thoughts on larger dishes:
- Ensure that your support is strong enough for a dish that will be blown around more.
- How old is your cabling - weathering can be an issue
- People with 80 cm dishes still are able to watch the Olympics in HD 😉 - admittedly I haven’t tested it in heavy rain yet.
