[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1103997, member: 176704"] [USER=416227]@Icemen786[/USER] TBH, I think you are "over-thinking" the issues involved, and reading too much into the satellite superstore remark, especially when it comes to receiving the Sky channels on Astra 2 at 28.2E! A standard SKY Zone 1 dish will be perfectly adequate in most cases, or a Zone 2 one for greater resilience, pretty much everywhere in the UK - after all, millions of UK SKY viewers have had them installed over many years and there are actually relatively very few issues in practice [B]w[U]hen those dishes are correctly installed and with the right cables and weather protection (especially at the LNB ) .[/U][/B] BTW: For quite a few years I was using a conventional solid 60cm dish & Technomate dual LNB at the end of 25-30m of cable at the end the garden and that provided very reliable reception for SKY in all conditions except absolutely torrential rain - [B]BUT[/B] I didn't see any difference/degradation when I swopped to a standard perforated Zone 2 dish and quad much nearer the house, and that was done simply because it released the cables to the end of the garden for easier access to other dishes that I later installed!
