We usually do a direct line stopping in Colmar (Beautiful) and maybe Como, but ..............we head to the east coast. One things for sure lots of people do the journey so there'll be no shortage of help. S
A powerful jet, aimed from 3 metres away should do it. Or, even better, get the professionals in. S
Hi karenr, Why do I doubt it will work ? I have a very good friend here locally and between us we have been trying all sorts of products from freesat and others. We (in Penna San Giovanni) here are on the very edge of the satellite footprint and therefore connectivity is almost certain to be 'flakey'. (We can see the Astra satellite easily on an iPhone and Sky is no probs). It would be great if 'they(tooway)' could undertake a proving exercise (for free!), if it did work, I would think that they would get a lot of takers ! I live on the side of a hill looking due south towards Smerillo and Monte San Martino, all of the villages around me are 200 metres above me. My dish (the size of a plate from Fidoka), has DIRECT LINE OF SIGHT to both a Fidoka(at Monte San Martino) and a Getby(Smerillo) antennae so I guess I'm lucky? I have (realistically) a 99% connectivity to 4mb. Another friend has an almost identical setup to me with Getby (6mb), BUT he does not have direct line of sight to the antenna, so he has a shared connection (with other properties nearby), therefore he has only a share of the 6mb. He is connected via a receiving dish(pointing to the Getby antenna) on a neighbouring property which is then bounced around the other 3/4 properties using it. So, although he has not got line of sight to the antenna, he still gets a decent 'bounced' connection. (if that makes sense!) I'm surprised that Getby gave you the thumbs down..................pop along to Fidoka on the SP78 and try there, they MIGHT just do it ? Good luck ! S
I had a look at the 'tooway' product and it 'seems' good but I think expensive. BUT.................if it works well where you are in Italy (which I STRONGLY doubt) then it will be worth it if there is no other solution. The Internet nowadays is a 'must have' product, and I think the future is full streaming TV access via the Internet instead of the current range of Sky products. The problem with 'tooway' and others, they are totally unproven here in Italy to my knowledge. Maybe a supplier would like to take up a free trial over here (ha !!). Here in Penna San Giovanni, there are at least two suppliers of very stable wireless connectivity (Fidoka & Getby), are there no similar in 'your' area? S
Aaaaah right, I didn't realise that the Tessera Sanitaria was 'the' one; I'll sort out the extra bits. We'll be driving so we don't expect to lose luggage etc, Cheers, S
I almost sent you a pm on this as I KNEW that you would be able to help, but thought that the Forum (and possibly the gardening section) would be a more visible option for others, Thanks a lot............I'll be 'busy' for the next few days .....

Lakeside, Thanks for the clarification, I KNOW that no misinformation was intended, I just had this recollection that 'they' had a get out clause. I have to say that I don't even know wether I have this extension ! I think I'll spend next years premium on wine/beer/prosecco ?!!? Ha! S
I'm intrigued Lakeside,............. my Intasure policy wording says : Section 1 Clause 5 We will not pay for: Loss or damage caused by subsidence or landslip, frost, weight of snow, swimming pool covers, filtration systems etc etc S
(Wonder why I bother insuring !)
