[QUOTE="7mdish, post: 1128070, member: 401140"] I'm curious to understand which dish sizes are used by public or private main broadcasters like BBC or ITV in UK for example (or RAI in Italy) and the same in the big earth stations. As I know, in the dawn of satellite TV TV during the 60s when satellite reception was totally out of the game for any private user, earth stations used dishes around 25 meters or more! Yes you read correctly: 25 meters. In that old era, I believe that few broadcasters have their own satellite dish, and most of them were supplied by earth station when needed, or maybe they got satellite signals through Eurovision terrestrial circuit in S band (around 2 GHz). Obviously The situation changed in the 80s, and now all broadcasters have satellite dishes, but I don't know what are the most used sizes..... maybe 3m or 3.7m or more? Same question for the earth stations. They surely use larger dishes but I have no idea. Anyone have specific information about this topic? Thank you. [/QUOTE]
