[QUOTE="Old Fred, post: 22086"] Apparently the choice of LNB is critical and I read that Salvador Ferrairo had done tests on lots of LNBs and the Manhattan MTI 0.6dB are the best for Astra 2D. Apparently it's to do with them being an older design and having lots of gain at the lowest frequencies. You could try a Google search for "Manhattan MTI 0.6dB LNB". I'd guess that a 2m dish with this LNB will work OK in Rome with the right Digibox. The ones that work are: Panasonic TU-DSB20, TU-DSB30 Pace BSKYB2600 and Pace minibox "Javelin". You might just manage it with a 1.8m but the alignment and LNB skew are critical and you *must* set them for the lowest Astra 2D frequencies. Don't just look at the default transponder results.
