Use Kaffeine to receive free-to-air TV on your Linux box

Generally, the weaker the signal the larger the dish needed to get an acceptable signal into the system. Given that the readers of linux.com are very dispersed geographically, it would be a mistake to recommend a particular size of dish. From Eastern Ontario, for this satellite I use a fixed 33" elliptical which I find gives a very satisfactory signal. However this dish would be totally inadequate for other satellites. I hesitate to recommend a particular supplier, there are many out there that can advise and supply, my suggestion is to do a web search for possibilities. One factor to take into account is that because dishes are physically large, extra shipping costs may apply.
