[QUOTE="BarMoo, post: 17326, member: 175089"] Thanks CH for the info. I'll be honest I was joking about the weight restriction. I have a very sturdy wall bracket and have worked out that it will easily 'accomodate' a 125cm dish for 28.2° Still on Astra 2D and the Beeb - I got thinking. Thought of in a very simplistic way:- 1. BBC use three transponders (inc one on 2D). 2. ITV use three transponders (all on 2D). 3. BBC need for all regions on DSAT (need more capacity?) 4. Seven vacant transponders on Astra 2D 5. Money saved from SKY = money to spend on what will be more expensive rights buying with enough spare dosh to hire another transponder (on 2D) ;) Just a thought. Mark. P.S. I have to say that watching ARD/ZDF sometimes you can seem to tell the difference between bit rates 27.000 and 22.000. Are there any grounds for this extra thought? [/QUOTE]
