Cahit Nuri Or from Turkey installed a large 5.2-meter satellite dish in his garden to receive music channels from the ASTRA satellite at 19.2 degrees east. This large dish was necessary because Turkey is at the edge of the satellite's coverage area. It allowed him to receive clear digital and analog signals from ASTRA.
