Shows the footprint for the various beams. IMHO a properly aligned
Zone 1 (the smaller of the two) minidish should be fine, Zone 2 would
be better.


Utter crap.


So those coverage maps are crap are they? References for your assertion
please.


Course not... A Zone 2 mini-dish should work fine in Western Ireland -
provided you've got a clear view toward the satellite of course. Make
sure that the polarisation offset adjustment (LNB rotation) is set into
click-stop position no. 2.
