[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 840243, member: 176256"] When SES say that reception will remain the same they mean within the targeted area. If it does become worse for us on the new fringes then I have a 90cm, 95cm and 1m dish available if need be. I also have a 1.8m PF dish sitting in store but that's probably overkill and anyway I eventually want to motorise that. There is some slight difference between brands but unless you go really bottom of the market it's unlikely to be significant. What you're paying for with the premium brands is ease of setup, rigidity once fitted and, finally, a little bit better accuracy in the dish profile. I'm not entirely surprised that 1m won't cut it in Milan. Going west and south from me 85cm isn't big enough in the French Pyrhenees and 1m is the next step to try. Maybe even 1.2m, perhaps? So perhaps you should be thinking along these lines as well? Unfortunately you won't know until you try. [/QUOTE]
