[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 953157, member: 175144"] Your original question was [I]....do we have any idea of the gain of this dish in C band please, ?[/I] (I've added the ?) The right hand column gives a pretty good idea of dish size increase compared to the signal (in decibels ) sent over a link. It is not possible to relate a generated dB reading from a satellite receiver to the performance of a dish, since everythng else in the link budget, cable length, connectors, switches, LNB (gain), location, background noise, the receiver hardware (and even firmware version) will affect what is shown on the TV screen. Best to go back to the manufacturers specifications and work on the differences that way, hence the reason including a comparison of dB against dish size, which will give you a basis of how much difference there is ebtween a C band 1.8 and 3.0 m dish.
