Just measured the Fibo 90 and that is 105cm tall so would require planning. Easy answer is just make the install "temporary".Do-able, but disappointing. 2 Russian transponders on 11W (good for CJ), 3 transponders on 20E (most stuff duplicated on 7W), and at 3E just a couple of crap Arabic transponders, nothing from Rascom. On my 1.5m dish I have 560 channels scanned in but even that is pretty disappointing because the majority of them are right at the receive threshold and severely pixelized most of the time. I'd say for C-band 2.4m is a realistic starting point with 1.8m as an absolute minimum. In C-band a 1m dish equates to 30cm dish in Ku, and a 2.4m C-bander equates to 80cm in Ku.</blockquote>
