[QUOTE="Fredrik M, post: 868422, member: 401698"] Thank you Timo. It seems like it is difficult to predict the necessary dish size that I will need to get receive the main UK channels in the future. From the specs of the Astra 2F, it seems largely underutilized. More channels could be transmitted. However, judging from the blog post [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/blogaboutthebbc/posts/Changes-to-BBC-Satellite-transponders-in-2013[/url] by the director of distribution on BBC, the transponder on 2F is seen as a long term solution rather than temporary. From other enthusiasts, it seems like a Triax 110 or Gibertini 100 should be enough for 2F. But I guess it is good to have some margin for bad weather and potentially weaker signals from 2E. I think that we are fairly lucky with the 2F in my area. Some 150 km west of us (towards the UK), in Jutland in Denmark, signals seem significantly weaker. Maybe I should buy a Gibertini 125 which probably is the largest dish that I would dare to install on my house considering my neighbors potential complaints... [/QUOTE]
