The German tv will undoubtedly show the world cup. You might be able to get the commentry on radio in english.

Our TV has FRC ( football rejection circuit) called the channel change/off switch!

Astra2 SpotBeam from 28.2 East carries the BBC/iTV Ch5 and all the other Freesat satellite channels.

Looking at the FootPrint does not present a good signal for the area you mention, in fact you will be just outside the edge of the FootPrint for use with a 60cm Dish.

Having said that you may get away with a 80cm Dish, and from what I can tell a 1m Dish will guarantee a signal in that region.

Like the old saying, "What Will Do More, Will Do Less".

Ideally if you can find out what size Dish folk are using at your intended campsite, then you will have your answer for Dish size, but any such reception reports would have to be based on information from folk who been on the campsite from March 2014 onwards as there have been no changes since that time to the satellite line up, and no further changes are anticipated for Freesat reception until 2029 which is when the current satellite being used for Freesat is due to be replaced.
