[QUOTE="peaceandlove, post: 587005, member: 179427"] Keeping the peace with your neighbour is good, but hes gone too far there should be a compromise, Any how Im not sure how big a zone 2 dish is, im thinking prob about 60 cm and if thats the case i would definatly go for the arcon multi 57cm, im not sure how this would improve your reception behind a window, as my window is laden with aluminium and lead so no chance of recption with a closed window, mine has to be open to view 19E. But if you are going for the patio set up you will not be dissapointed with a arcon multi, it will pick up much more than a zone 2, reading some of the reception reports on the zone 2 motorised dish posted above it seems that 16E is mor or less a no go, wher as my motorised 57cm is picking up virtualy all of 16 E i have a problem on the digi alb transponder which broadcasts the sports channels, this comes and gpes as it pleases but apart from that, im picking up 8w the furthest i can go west, 5W all of 1W Thor apart from the nordic transponders, 4.5E sirus again apart from the nordic, 7E ,9E ,10E, with problems , think i need to slightly realign dish,13E, 16E, 19E, 23E apart from the Kabel Deutchland transponders, 28E, 39E, and half of 42E turksat . I doubt very much if a zone two could acheive this, and the arcon multi is proberbly smaller than a zone 2. Two majour draw back with this dish i must say 1. is price, thankfully i picked mine up on fleebay for £60 and after searching high and low i found an adapted iverto c120 .3db LNb with dual feed but im sure it cost me about £60, unlike the normal c120 iverto single and dual white lnbs,which cost beteween £20 and £35 the one i got has a tube like thread comming out in order to screw on the feed horn, this brings me to second draw back. LNB, these tend to pack up quiker than a normal lnb, mines went last week after the snows, hailstones and torrential rain, now only receiveing H frequencies and hard pushed to pay another £60 after only a year and 4 months but have no choice. seing as ive got away this long with having the dish up, now playing with idea of possibly getting a longer stronger s pole stronger clamps and replacing the arcon57cm with a 85cm clear dish, but not so sure it would greatly improve reception, i do get terrible rain fade on thor and 16e during a very rainy day, infact 16E unwatchable during rain, and thor reduced to the strongest trasponders only but still the arcon is very impressive for its size , its reported as acting like a 80cm dish, allowing for sales talk, i would say maybe a 70cm dish, but seeing as i dont own either a 70 or 80cm dish hard to compare, I would say though above the draw backs much better than a zone 2 for reception [/QUOTE]
