BBC coverage in france
I've decided to install proper satellite that will work with a Foxsat HD Freesat receiver.
Currently I have 2 dishes but they're both rusty. I need to redo the cabling, and maybe install a new dish.
Near Versailles It will need to point to 28.2°E (It's actually 28.2° E of South, so if you're looking at a compass from the north it's 151.8° ) which covers Astra 2A/2B/2D & Eurobird 1 which are used
by Sky Digital, but there are loads of Free to Air channels (FTA) on them, so you don't need a subscription!
