It's good enough to receive BBC during "normal" rain, during yesterdays thunderstorm BBC was gone for a few minutes when it was raining really hard, Astra 1, Hotbird and Sirius (on a different dish) were off too, but Ch 4+5 were still ok.Don't underestimate the forces a 1m dish brings onto the fixing compared to a 80cm or 85cm dish. Going from 85cm to 100 cm means that the windload increases by approx. 30%. (85cm to 120cm: 80%)Your 85 dish is already moving in storms? Maybe you should think about getting a more solid fixing.Thomas</blockquote>
