Can anybody please tell me what size dish I will need to receive BBC etc on Satelite in Scotland. Will a normal size do. Have stupidly booked holiday whilst the World Cup is on and need to make sure I can watch games.

I have just bought a dish and wanted to make sure that it would work in Scotland and France, area 2 dish seemed to be required which is from 60cm in diameter.
Haven't tried it yet of course but that was based on looking at information on various internet sites.

Living in Scotland, I have just looked out my window and it looks like a normal sized dish to me!! We are the same land mass as England you know!
Best wishes

Elspeth, its to do with the satellites "footprint" more than being connected to the rest of the country... The post with the astra link should show the footprint. Scotland is near the northern edge of this print, hence the further north you go the weaker the signal and the bigger the dish you need to get a better quality signal. Although for Sky, I think you'll be ok on a normal size dish.
Thanks for that Shane and Sally but I am aware of footprints.
Perhaps I should have been less tongue in cheek but we are in Britain and it is the British Broadcasting Corporation and for once we don't have to pay more than England for something, as the same size satellite dish will do.
Cheers
Elspeth

Our house dishes are slightly bigger up here, as someone said before it is zone 2, although you do occasionally see some smaller ones which I take it are zone 1. For info I have used my little Lidl dish (now replaced with a Kathrien square dish) here and as far north as Braemar and got a signal easily enough. I suppose it depends where you will be staying.
What kind of dish were you thinking on getting?
