Im here in Dublin and have very little problems with badr 4 and the mbc beam there usually around 60-70 quality this is using a triax 1.1m with .2db titanium.

I cant pick up even a small signal on badr 6 though,Does anyone have an idea of how big a dish id need to pick it up .

Thanks.

Much much bigger - the Badr 6 transmission footprint is slewed well south of the British Isles.

Would of thought you'd have reasonably good results from the Gibertini 150cm you have but there are certainly larger and better dishes available.

What do you mean by a big dish? Is it for motorising? What are you trying to receive that you can't on the Gibertini?

I had a run in with the local council a few months back because my old dish was 104 high & 98cms wide. I was forced to take it down and had to replace it with a Penta 85 :mad:

We have some very strange and backward laws in the UK.

Its OK to mount a 1.5m dish on a patio stand using sandbags to hold it in place as its not classed as a permanent structure, the second you put one bolt into the ground its illegal )(-red

Its political madness gone wrong :-lmao
