satellite in europe

Presuming that it works in the UK and that you are selecting the Astra 2 satellite, it will work across the channel but not much further - the receiver is ok but you will need a bigger dish. A 60 cm will work in northern France and most of Germany. You will need an 80cm or 1meter dish to go further east and/or south.

Your system will work all over Europe on Astra 1, Hotbird and Atlantic 3 deg W. You will get plenty channels but only a couple of English speaking news channels.
