[QUOTE="Likvid, post: 69451, member: 176379"] A 7 meter dish is living hell to have pointed exactly at one satellite if you don't have motors correcting the movement for AZ/EL all the time. The larger you go the harder it is to have it pointed exactly, it all starts at 3 meter and upwards. You need concrete foundations that are so well done and you have to place the foundation on a solid ground like rock or something to minimize movements of the dish. Of course it would be possible down in your place to get all Astra channels 24/7, but you need maybe a 15 meter dish with motors for AZ/EL tracking the movements all the time, the financial cost for a private person would be enormous and it's not feasible at all. You also need a installer that knows what he is doing and not some prick who have only done 1 meter dish installations and those people are not common these days as many have changed trades over the years due to how the market developed...... If you have the money, contact Andrew and ask for a quote for a complete system with all bells and whistles i talked about and a complete installation at site by their own installers... What i don't understand why you people don't get together in an area and share the financial costs of a system like this. [/QUOTE]
