Default A Bit OT - Satellite & Terrestrial TV in West Cork, Ireland

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Andy Wade
saying something like:

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.


Note the word 'should'. You'll find it's marginal at best when it gets
heavily clouded up here. Christ, it's bad enough in the middle of
Ireland, the West is worse.
