I am aware of at least half a dozen people quite reliably receiving Rai Italia Asia at 3700V on 3.0m mesh dishes using a range of different MPEG4 receivers.
I'm not aware that you have told us where you are located. This information would be useful in helping to ascertain whether reliable reception is possible with a 2.4m mesh dish in that area.
Of course reliable reception depends not only on dish size but also on accuracy of dish assembly, mounting, alignment and LNB(F) set-up/adjustment. (Everything in the chain from dish to receiver is critical for reliable reception).
I have had to re-mount/adjust many LNBs as the initial installer failed to mount and/or set them up correctly.
Occasionally, external nearby interference can prevent/disrupt reliable reception.
I know it should be obvious, but is there clear line of sight from the dish to satellite? Is the WHOLE surface of the dish illuminated by Asiasat 5?
