I posted the map for reference as to dish size for Sweden, it now seems, Freesat UK etc will no longer be available to viewers outside the UK, northern France and Belgium.
I was not aware of the technological footprint focus points of of Astra 2E, until I found the following.
"As with Astra 2F, Astra 2E is likely to change seasonally, decreasing from April to September, meaning the dishes that work now, may not work then.
Broadcasting footprint
Astra 2E has three Ku-band downlink beams covering Europe and the Middle East:
The Europe beam is centred on the English Channel with maximum signal over the UK, Ireland, France, Benelux, and parts of Germany, Austria, and Spain (including a "lobe" specifically designed to serve the Canary Islands), and reception on a larger dish extending to Italy, Poland, North Africa, and the Balkans.
The UK Spot beam provides maximum signal (for 45 cm dishes) over the UK and Ireland with a sharp roll-off of signal level outside this region, in close approximation of the UK Beam of Astra 2D. This enables channels to be broadcast free-to-air but with reception effectively constrained to the British Isles, and has been the basis for the Freesat free-to-air UK platform.
The Middle East beam is centred on the Arabian peninsula and extends to Turkey and into eastern Africa, to provide for reception with 50 cm dishes.
The Ka-band footprint for satellite broadband provides full service coverage centred on central Europe and extending to France, Italy, the Balkans, the UK, and southern Sweden and Norway.
The craft is fitted with 60 Ku-band transponders."
So, unlike Nilesat @7W which has a middle east footprint and can be picked up here in the UK with a suitable dish, unfortunately, it seems the same will not apply to Astra 2E.
