Thanks David for the reply I did read the details from the Quick Sat guide but I wondered if any members had actually used it further afield. Manufacturers can sometimes be very conservative on the range of these devices.
Has anyone used the QS65 in Spain for instance...

I suspect manufacturers will always be on the side of caution as they don't want unhappy or complaining customers. Getting a signal is not an exact science as the nearer to the edge of the footprint for your size of dish the more other things come into play. For instance rain in a strong signal area shouldn't have too much affect but on the edge of the signal it may well have.
Your dish may well pick up Sky transmissions that far south but that won't include the UK FTA programmes so you have to be a Sky subsciber. Sometimes the odd FTA channel is on a different satellite with a larger footprint but that is a bit like clutching at straws.
