Optimizing reception: expert advice for flawless vision 📺

To enjoy Eurosport 2’s diverse sports coverage in pristine quality, follow these expert tips tailored for Nilesat, Arabsat, Hot Bird, Thor and Astra:

1. Selection of plate size 📏: Use a 70-100cm antenna for Nilesat, Arabsat and Hot Bird in primary coverage areas (MENA, Europe). For Thor in the Nordic countries or Astra in Europe a 60-80 cm dish is sufficient. In fringe areas (e.g. Southern Europe for Nilesat), opt for a 100-150cm dish for stronger signals.

2. Precise plate alignment 🧭: Align your dish to the satellite’s orbital position (7°W for Nilesat, 26°E for Arabsat, 13°E for Hot Bird, 0.8°W for Thor, 19.2°E for Astra) using a satellite tracker or apps like SatFinder. Make sure no obstacles (trees, buildings) block your line of sight.

3. LNB compatibility 🔌: Install a universal Ku-band (9.75/10.6 GHz) LNB for all satellites listed. Check that your receiver supports DVB-S2 for HD and DVB-S for SD broadcasts.

4. Signal optimization 📶: Aim for a quality level of 70-98% on the receiver’s meter to avoid pixelation. Adjust the azimuth, elevation and tilt of the LNB for maximum performance. A satellite amplifier can help in low signal areas but will not make up for poor alignment.

5. Weatherproof ☔: Protect yourself from signal loss in rain or snow by securing your dish and using waterproof LNB caps. Avoid retuning in high pressure atmospheric conditions.

6. Verification of coverage 🗺️: Confirm that your location is within the satellite’s range (e.g. Nilesat for MENA, Hot Bird/Astra for Europe, Thor for Nordics) using official coverage maps.
