Wave Frontier T55 in london

[geeuk]

Hi,

I want get a Wave Frontier t55 for the following sats 7E , 13E , 19.2E , 28.2E , 42E...

I checked the sat maps and the only concern i have is the 7E i am wondering if this dish is too small for this sat?

Any suggestions or advices?

Thanks

Would have thought it should be ok.

7E is a relatively strong Satellite in the UK (For the relevant beams, of course!).

What exactly interest you on 7E?

Europe B might be tight but worth a shot. Given the dish and gain, maybe okay. Take a look at the official downlink coverage _http://www.eutelsat.com/satellites/7e_w3a_popd.html#

For that little bit extra - can you get a T90? It will vastly improve the amount of channels you can pull in, simply because of the extra dish space and although you will get 7E fine, you may benefit from getting a better quality signal from the weaker transponders on the other sats you mention. After all size is everything

There is also the Maximum T85 which is larger than the T55 but smaller than the T90.

It doesn't have a huge front reflector, so it looks much less bulky.

It's also much cheaper than both, half the price O-Ha, which is an important point.

If you wanted the T55 for the Turkish channels on 7e, I think it may be too small, as the beams are around 48dBW and some Turkish channels are weak up here. For London a 70cm may be a sensible size in bad weather. Up here, an 80cm would be a better idea.
