[QUOTE="xerxes, post: 23253, member: 176073"] Thanks for that most interesting information, Tom34. I'm wondering if you get such good results with an 80 cm dish if I could survive with my 85 cms, being on almost exactly the same longtitude as you, and 40 odd kms further south. It's clear a bigger dish would be better, but I'd certainly be prepared to live with something smaller, even if meant losing the Beeb in bad weather. As it is, at the moment I lose [U]everything[/U] with my 45 cm Sky dish when it snows or rains heavily, for up to 15 minutes at a time sometimes. This really isn't as bad as you might think - I personally would be prepared to pay a premium to receive fewer Sky channels. Just think, no more Friendly TV, no more Avago, direct-selling or US God channels, to name but a few of many. Mmmmmm ..... fewer channels ..... My dish is a bit bigger than yours - it's a Technisat Satman 85, measuring 90 cms x 80 cms. I've got a multifeed lnb holder for it, which I originally used to receive Astra 1 and Eutelsat. These days I'm only interested in Astras 1 and 2. You couldn't let me know what make of dish you've got could you, and details of your lnb holder? Xerxes [/QUOTE]
