I put a big 1m dish up because in severe rain storms the signal gets
attenuated quite severely. Also I was playing safe just in case they focus
the signal more over the UK in the future.

I'll be watching it via satellite - I'm about 2 1/2 hours away though

You don't need a big dish to get BBC off of Astra - 80cm is enough in
Zuerich and Davos isn't that much more out of the footprint.

The big question is whether or not it's possible to 'see' the
satellite from the valley. I did see quite a few places with dishes on
them in Davos so if other satellites are visible then there's a good
chance that the appropriate Astra one will be too. As you say, French
TV should be a safe bet.
