Not disputing the fact that youve got a satellite dish only the fact that you lied on here by saying that you watched US racing while in Cyprus on a channel that only broadcasts on 95 west(think its called RTN but may have been called something else in the past). If you want to believe it thats fine by me. I also had many hallucinations the last time i was in cyrpus. By the way I suggested pole length would be 4000 miles high,not 4000 feet with a little bend to peep over that tricky thing called the horizon.
You even had me fooled at the time you said it so I emailed the channel and they told myself, and i beleive jas also asked them, not possible as the beam is only aimed at North America and I asked if it was possible on a satellite forum and these were the replies from February 2010. 95 west -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Would it be possible to pick up USA channels on 95 west with an 8ft dish in UK or Cyprus? reply 1 No m8 anything beyond your horizon is invisible to your dish even with a big dish in the UK 68.5 East to 61 West is possible. reply 2 hi m8, im 99% certain that you cant due to the fact that the satellite is over the horizon in the uk and the footprint is focused on the usa. you really need skytel or william 1 to give you a definate answer,regards reply 3 According to the "Satellite Antenna Calculator", which is handy little programme for working out where to aim a dish for any particular satellite, you would need to be at 20 degrees WEST of the Greenwich meridian to even be able "See" this satellite. That puts you roughly 400 miles off the coast of Ireland! Further more it is beamed at North & South America, so even then you would need a very big dish... As for Cyprus - forget it. Sorry! But if you say it happened then I believe you and I wont bother looking at your reply. I will say that you are the king of betfair and everything you say is true. Thanks again for solving one of the worlds problems regarding satellites. |

are you serious?
"not disputing"??? once more time with a feeling : I watch US racing in Cyprus whenever I go I provided more info to you than I should ever need to provide to substantiate that if you want to stick to your wikipedia searches as opposed to reality than that's fine by me you called me a liar and I stood up to you and proved you wrong the least you can do is apologize never mind, cnuts never apologize even when you rub their face in it now FO and STFU |

you are engaging in evasive maneuvers
his name is Andreas Savva, not Stavros, don't play dumb....unless you really are ask him a simple friggin question: "can I watch US racing in Cyprus" then coma back on here and friggin apologize otherwise I'll think you are just a common troll.......or may we accept you are and call it a day. |

I will try and help to educate you.
Is it possible to view American Channels in Europe? (ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, WB, HBO etc ) Sorry it is NOT possible, they generally don't reach to Europe due to the footprints of the Satellite and the curve of the earth which means many of the US Satellites are below the horizon. |

Seeing beyond the horizon?
Am I correct in thinking that if a dish is high enough above sea level, then you can see more satellites east or west than at sea level? If yes, then is there some sort of formula or rule or thumb to figure out how high you must go e.g. how high must a dish be to see a satellite that would normally be 1 degree below the horizon at sea level? Whow I'm sure you could do it but the dish would have to be very large to view anything. I wasn't thinking so much of increasing the dish size, more moving it to a high altitude location e.g. mountain! PAS4 * 72E is beyond the horizon for me but the footprint still shows a strong signal suitable for a small dish. Just wondering if it's theoretically possible? Or is the footprint wrong - if I can't see the satellite, can the satellite 'see' me? You should have a mountain which is hundreds kilometers high. So you just can not see satellite which is below horizon. Ok, theoretically high mountain can give advantage if satellite is exactly on horizon, or for example just 0.5 degrees over horizon. Maybe ground noise can be lower then if mountain would be for example 5km high. |

European Satellite TV
Frequently Asked Questions -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Introduction What follows isn't exactly a 'FAQ', but an attempt to give some answers to the questions that face those who want to install satellite TV at their home. It concerns European satellites and my background is Scandinavia, but the issues should be similar throughout Europe. ** Before we start, however, let me dispose of the most common question that actually crops up: No, you cannot watch US satellite channels when you are in Europe. Nor can you watch European satellites in the US. Your antenna (the satellite dish) cannot receive signals from satellites under the horizon, and since the earth is round, US satellites are under Europe's horizon. Europe and the Middle East, however, is basically one area, and a dish in Sweden can pick up the same signals as those in Tunisia, and vice versa. That said, we will proceed in the order of choices that a viewer interested in satellite TV will have to face. First, we will look at hardware choices, and what they imply; then we will survey what kind of satellite channels you can expect to pick up with the different options of hardware discussed. |

Although not by strict definition terrestrial TV DX, satellite UHF TVRO reception is related in certain aspects. For example, reception of satellite signals requires sensitive receiving systems and large outdoor antenna systems. However, unlike terrestrial TV DX, satellite UHF TV reception is far easier to predict. The geosynchronous satellite at 22,375 miles (36,009 km) height is a line of sight reception source. If the satellite is above the horizon, it can be generally received, if it is below the horizon, reception is not possible.

and why would i believe him? is he the worlds leading authority on the horizon and can move satellites without anyone knowing or maybe he moved cyprus for you to 400 miles off the west coast of ireland?
oh hes just a satellite guy |

Last one for you tonight comedian as your ignorance is boring me now. Ive done some more googling and tried to find it in simple laymans terms for you.
Ive highlighted the parts you seem to have trouble understanding. If you have any questions I'll be back on here Sunday. Maybe melanie has a satellite detective who could shed some light on this case like she did with the IRS and the kernel investigations? QUESTION 4. Can I get channels from the USA? ANSWER 4. There is very little American TV in the sky. Usually a few news channels. It is very unlikely you would find a sport channels. To understand this you have to consider the Physics. The Earth is round, not flat and microwaves (like light) travel in straight lines. Satellites above the States are beyond our horizon. Only if US channels are relayed onto European satellites would we be able to see them. This mainly seems to happen with free channels. Mostly news, however, Fox Sport and Fox News are available in the clear from Pas 3 at 43 West. This requires an 90cm dish. From the UK we can see satellites from about 60W to 60W so it the sat is (e.g.) 115 degrees etc. we can't see it Even if it is within 60E to 60W you also need to check the footprints on www.lyngsat.com as well as the positions. QUESTION 5. I am British and I have moved to America. Can I see British TV in America? ANSWER 5. This is not possible. The reasons for this are to do with the laws of Physics. The Earth is round not flat and microwaves (like light) travels in straight lines. Satellites above our horizon are beyond your horizon. Only if UK channels were to be relayed onto US satellites would you be able to see them. You are in a better position to find that out than we are. |

bluenose, I don't understand why you are being so obstinate to be honest. "I've done some more googling" is not exactly the way to win this debate. Not just the Canadian but also another person who lived in Cyprus for a while posted that US TV reception is possible in Cyprus. Evidence on the ground contradicts your googling efforts. Besides, the Canadian provided the installer's name and number to verify his claim and his claim includes not just any US TV but specific dedicated racing feeds. The refusal to place a simple phone call may be indicative of your level of confidence in all your assertions. Your "[b]and why should I believe him[/b]" is about as weak an argument as ever posted on here. Since when has "googling efforts" become the only source of legitimacy and actual installer testimony simply dismissed? Sorry, bluenose, the lemmings who despise the Canadian may be on your side, but any reasonable person would not. Call and verify or give up, those are the only two options open to you at this time.
