I've also had the Showtime horizontals a few times as well. The footie is on the horizontals however, so a 1m is no good, very close but not enough.  I would guess at a decent 1.5m (has over twice the area of a 1m) wouldn't do too badly. You could always try the cheapo 1.8M that maplin do, if you fancy a challenge. Apparently needs careful alignment of the petals, and possibly strengthening a bit as its a bit flimsy for its size.But once done, you should get quite a good signal on it (as long as it does not rain too much)7w has one advantage, and that it is quite high in the sky, so line of site obstructions are easier to overcome.</blockquote>
