Tntsat in Portugal

Hello,

is it possible, for our regular holidays in the Algarve, a region located in the extreme south of Portugal, to dismantle the 60 cm satellite dish we use in France to reinstall it there with its decoder? Will it cause reception problems for French TV channels in Portugal, or would it be better to buy another one in France or Portugal?

    Tntsat in Portugal or Spain is like Tntsat throughout Western Europe, no significant reception difference compared to France.

    According to Astra-SES recommendations, a 60 cm dish is sufficient, equipped with a standard low-noise universal LNB, 0.4 dB (ref Astra: PIRE 50 dBw zone).

    Now, it remains to be seen whether it's better to spend around thirty euros (indicative price in France is the same as in Portugal) and simultaneously equip the house in Portugal. All that will be left is to transport the Tntsat terminal, knowing that its setup doesn't change, of course.

      115 km north of Lisbon, Leiria, I use a 50 cm dish, but with a new, more efficient LNB as it has a noise figure of 0.2 dB instead of 0.6 dB. I have no issues receiving TNTsat.

      Previously, I used the dish on Atlantic Bird 3 with an analog demodulator to receive the 6 national channels + TMC… now I have the 18 TNT channels just like in France.

        Hello Leiria
        I also live in Portugal near Covilhã.
        I've been receiving 7 French channels in analog for 4 years but I would like to receive digital terrestrial television. Can you give me more details?
        Where did you buy the decoder and which one? And Canal+? Thank you in advance.

        I am in Ribatejo and with my satellite dish I can receive BFM, TV5, NT1... but not TF1 or M6. They are "codificado". What should I do? Do I need codes?
        Thank you

        In Porto, I receive TNTSAT via Astra 19.2º with a 45 cm Technisat satellite dish under very good conditions, even during heavy rain and wind. The installer told me that I could also receive AB3 with the same antenna, but not with the same decoder.
