Go to dishpointer dot com and enter your address and pick eutelsat 5 and you will get the info needed to get that sat. Looks like you will need a receiver that does DVB S2 too.

Try this link,

For "Ku" band select the US beam, then zoom into your location, if you register (it's free) it will give you an estimated dish size for your location.

However there is nothing listed for the US "Ku" band being beamed in this direction, the US beam does not show anything for any channels, and all the others are for Europe and some parts of the middle East.

The "C" band beam does, so you will need at least a 10 foot dish and a "C" band LNBF, and a "V" box to control the linear motor on the "C" band dish.

However don't waste your time and money, this satellites beams are far out of range for your location, as you can see by the link I provided.

Eutelsat 5 is located at 5w, you will not be able to see this sat at all from your location- meant as a European sat on Super ku band. If you lived further east you might be able to pick it up on c band with a dish of at least 10'.

I saw on satbeams that I can catch it with a 36" dish. Ill give it a try. But what type of lnb.
