You would likely need a 1.5m...1.8m dish for Astra 2D, maybe not enough for the vertical transponders but you would get most programs from the horizontal TPs anyway. I think 1.1m is simply too small even if you possibly could get some Astra 2D channels part of day with it. MTV and VH1 channels are on Astra 2A South beam that is also difficult to receive in Scandinavia.

There are LOTS of posts about reception in the Oslo area on this board and in the archives, have a look at them. There are also a few entries in the Reports section.
