What dish please

[RizL4]

Hello i live on the 15th floor in London and was looking to get a dish.
Maybe i can stick it out on the balcony best to get a fixed dish?
Channels i want to get mostly sports

Welcome,

Depends on if your balcony is South facing and whether you have any dish size restrictions.

Nice cheers for the help. Just called a lad to install a dish says he has all sorts
might ask him for 80cm motorized now stick that on the balcony and drill a hole to feed the cable to the livingroom to the dreambox

That be fine?

You will need a 60c.m (south) and 80c.m (north) satellite dish and LNB locked on to Hotbird to receive the below channels:
