[QUOTE="JacketPotato, post: 1152002, member: 418300"] I'm considering getting a second dish for the house to access services on Astra 19.2E to help me learn German (and because I could move it to another position for interesting things, or motorize it). The house already has the smaller Zone 1 minidish that's currently used for freesat (although it's not working amazingly at the moment as there is so little buffer before signal is lost and ITV4 HD breaks up for some reason) so I would like to get another one, so that freesat can still be used. However, I'm unsure what dish size to get, as Lyngsat Maps reckons I only need a 50cm dish, but SatBeams reckons I need 60cms. 60cms would be fine except I cant seem to find concrete information on how big a Zone 1 vs Zone 2 minidish is. Some sellers on ebay (who I know aren't to be trusted) say that zone 2 dishes are 60cms and some say 80cms! World-of-Satellite sell a very cheap 65cm bundle, which should be plenty for most sats i'm interested in, but if people think that a sky minidish would be big enough, obvioulsy a sky minidish from ebay would be cheaper.
