[QUOTE="haga, post: 19121, member: 175834"] @Rolfw, another one that may come in handy, it may give members a rough idea of dish size. Below is a list of satellites from east to west, also the minimum dish size for (s) south or (n) north that you require to pick some up, it also depends on your view of the sats; ie, trees or other buildings can restrict picture quality. Not all these satellites are receivable in the UK, you would need a dish the size of Jodral Bank to pick some up, I have also left some of the ones out that are near impossible to get, and also some are viewable at different times of the day, some also have an inclined orbit, which means that they are not on the Clark belt, slightly off set. You get the general picture (or not). I have listed the dish size on Viewable sats only.
