The question cannot be answered as we don't know the dish type.

For example,is it prime focus or offset?, as feedhorn parameters are usually different.

Best you take a photo of it I think, when your'e next there.

I live at La Finca Golf and have a 1.9 portuguese dish with twin LNB.

If you only have a 1.2 you will not get BBC2,3,4 C5, Fiver et al, C4 (although you might get TTon4 and you should get C4+1) Sky3, Film4, Film4+1. there may be a few others and you will not get BBC local London news if you want it. It will be worth your-while tuning into the non-freesat mode as you can get some more but I have not really taken the time to go through them.

But you will get BBC HD (great for the football) and ITV HD via the red button (also usually good quality picture) if you have an HD TV

There is a chance you will get some of these channels around 7pm at night but they will pixulate and break up.

I would be interested to know if you do get any of these with your 1.2dish.

hope this helps
