Since changing FEC to 8/9 (from?), he has lost all Sky Sports HD channels on his Squish. He can still receive HD channels with FEC of 5/6 and never loses signal, so he must be very close to getting a lock on the 8/9s. As he lives in an apartment (that he owns), he cannot have a dish on the balcony (that he also owns) - hence the Squish/Selfsat dish. He is still interested in getting the HD channels and is now considering a 60cm clear dish. Looking at gain figures, the 60cm one has a theoretical gain of around 35dBi whereas a Selfsat one has only 33.7dBi. Coupled with a better LNB with a lower noise figure than Squish's 0.8dB(!), what realistic chance does he have of getting enough signal for the HDs to lock? I think it's pretty realistic as he can't be far off...</blockquote>
