[QUOTE="John, post: 1035729, member: 175005"] Barcelona region is not in the strongest part of the downlink signal from either 7°East or 16°East so i would say that if you were to use an Inverto Ka/Ku lnbf to get the Band D Ka programmes you would need a dish size in the region of 1.3m - 1.5m with the Inverto located at the focus to get worthwhile reception of the channels that are available. A good sensitive tuner is helpful as well, Myself and forum member Scopus are trialing the Openbox S3 Mini HD at the moment for Ka band reception. We find that it has a sensitive tuner, allows the correct lnbf LO to be input and it scans it correctly and quickly and is cost effective. TBS 6903 / 6983 pc cards are also very good when used with programs such as EBSPro and CrazyScan as they offer far more control of what you can receive, and i use them as well. Be warned though .... Ka reception can be a tricky beast to master and needs accurate attention to set-up installation detail lol. [/QUOTE]
