[QUOTE="Huevos, post: 581408, member: 301161"] Why not just get yourself a 1.2/1.3m and low noise LNB if you are short of cash? You'd be surprised how much you can receive on it, including some of the vertical transponders on 2D.That's misleading. The dish may be 1.9m in height but the cross section offered to the satellite is only 1.8m due to the offset. Also the LNB shadow is not much of an issue. The area of the 1.8m dish is about 25,500cm2. The area blocked by the LNB/feedhorn is about 125cm2. That is not even 0.5% of the total area, and on a DB scale completely insignificant. [/QUOTE]
