Default Satellite reception in La Vienne

Hi.
We've recently bought a property near Montmorillon in the Vienne. We were hoping that someone in the area could give us some info on satellite reception for Freesat UK channels, size of dish required and any other helpful tips please.
Many thanks
Sally and Mark

Welcome to the forum personally if I was you I would aim for a 1Mtr dish if not a 1.2mtr for redundancy because they will narrow the beam further......

Hi, I live south of you. I have a 1 m dish and can receive the free to air channels with an old Sky box.
At this moment, strangely enough, on a clear day I lose the signal somewhere in the afternoon whilst on a cloudy day I lose it much later.
I think the dish needs to be repointed in the right direction (thank you Mistral).

If the box doesn't work, I use a VPN and ITV hub, All 4 and BBC I player online.

HTH
