Broadcasting from Sirius at 4.8 degrees East Viasat is easy to receive in Northern Europe, but with a slightly larger dish being necessary for the Eastern side of UK (circa 130 - 150cm is reported in trade forums), intended for scandinavian countries it beams the live sports and footy out on Astra4A at 4.8 degrees East. With dual language support viasat is a good choice for expats.

The official footprints are shown on this page, dish sizes outside the satellite footprint will vary, UK is on the fringe of the beam and the sidelobes drop off very sharply as you go West, and you may struggle on West Coast UK with 150-180cm, Ireland for example is virtually impossible the reception is too unstable and we have no data of larger dish sizes being used with success.

Note: We can now offer Viasat subscription satellite viewing cards for sale. Please find them in our store or under the viasat sports menu bar to the left.
