Few folks in the UK can get 68.5E because of the very low elevation.

In London unless the dish is going to be sited on top of a high building or you have an absolutely clear view out to the south east there is little chance of getting it.

Which channel(s) are you hoping to pull in - we might be able to suggest an alternative source.

Dish is going on top of 3 story building, flat roof. Can see Ku channels from 68.5e on a 1m dish.

Ah if you can get the Ku stuff then its just a matter of finding what the dish size is for the C-band transmission.

Which part of London are you in?

If its either Southwark, Westminster or Kensington & Chelsea it will be up on that 3 story roof for about 48 hrs before you have the councils planning department all over you.

Unless the dish can be kept completely invisible from all round the building it will be removed. Also the likelyhood of you getting planning permission for anything bigger than a 1.2m dish is next to nothing.
