Unless the trees are right infront of the line of sight of the SKY from the dish they will have NO impact at all remember the signal comes from above ! Whats all this talk of LARGE dishes a 1m dish is small here in Spain.... You want to think yourselves lucky that you do not need a 2.4m dish now that is large !!!!! A 1m - 1.4m dish can be mounted quite safely on a wall or chimney (providing your installer fits in correctly) without a problem. Maybe i should have a working holiday in the South of France and fit a few dishes for people :-)  

No its not happened yet its in position but not started broadcasting yet ! The BBC etc want to restrict the signal as far as possible within the UK borders due to copyright agreements with the program makers and the newer satellites are more advanced and allow a greater deal of flexibility / tweakability on the signal strentgh from the UK spot beam so that is why this is likely (yet to be confirmed) have an impact on dish sizes required outside of the UK !

Not 100% definate yet but i would think that all of the following channels will be on the UK Spot Beam when moved to ASTRA 2F - http://www.lyngsat.com/Astra-1N.html all other channels currently on the other Astra Sats 2A, 2B, Eutelsat should not be affected at the moment and will continue to be received on the same size dish as you have now.....

OK chaps i am an installer based in Spain have you all seen this site for info on ASTRA 2F- http://robssatellitetv.webs.com/astra2f.htm it will give reception reports for all areas of europe as soon as the satellite lights up and starts tests which could be anytime now ! http://robssatellitetv.webs.com/astra2freceptionreports.htm Reception Reports http://robssatellitetv.webs.com/astra2freceptionmaps.htm Reception Maps
