[QUOTE="thecaretaker, post: 592612, member: 292455"] I was hoping to swap it over without my wife (who I love dearly) knowing. Being the same dish only larger, I thought I might get away with it. My problem is I'm not a very good liar and she has a canny way of knowing when something is up lol The new dish should arrive today (fingers crossed) and I've booked my fearless friend who is a qualified sparky with unbelievable patients (he needs patients with me, I'm such a pain in the -perfectionist area-) on Friday. Weather permitting! I have no idea how much improvement going from 68cm to 85cm will make % quality wise. I hope I'm not expecting too much from it. I'm going to use the same LNB (Technosat) which so far has proved the best for me. The best quality I get on any sat is Channel4 at 84% so I will be using that as a reference. If I get quality higher than that (on any sat), I will know the 85cm is making a difference. Then again, my current Technomate 6900 Super does seem a little conservative with its % quality rate compared with my older original TM box 84%/87% and my old Fortec Star Passion on Channel4 shows 100% which I know can't be right.
