garyg, I don't know if this question has been asked already but is your need for EPL for personal reasons only? I assume when you get your "big dish" setup sorted you will be able to dispose of the surplus equipment and possibly the next challenge will be to motorise the big dish.I am still convinced you will get your dish sorted.You have the installers queuing up to assist you so with the combined knowledge you should have a good result

all of them mate lol!

Well i have rang over 15 mate and every single one is out of stock until end of month early september (next container comes in from the shops suppliers then). Even then there not sure if they will get a 2.4M on it.

However if I order one this week I can garuntee there will be one on the container for me... however if I wait 2 weeks before i decide i want one i could be waiting 2 or 3 months for one!

Now you see my situation :( I need to decide by early next week what I am going to do :(

Persevere, try everything with the 2.5 until early next week, then it's up to you. It is difficult to believe that 2.5 wont beat the 1.8, there must be something not quite right.

If only I'd lived in the UK Gary, I'd have been first in line for the 1.2CM. Ironically, I have loads of space here to house one and no neighbours to complain either. Ah well, "Ces't la vie!"

Not really, if your 2.4m is really up the spout I do have another 3.1m waiting in the wings (or is it a 3.5 ?), but I'm almost certain it won't have to come to that.

3.1M?!?!

Jeepers creepers! I am not sure that will fit in my garden :-ohmy!

But yeh, we know the 2.5M should not under perform over the 1.8M so something is really wrong!
