16E had major problems last year and required spare capacity to be brought into use. Signals are much weaker than they were, so I'm certain you'll need an even bigger dish - but only a local can really tell you exactly what minimum size.

Depends which channels you are looking for - anything on Sesat 1 is basically unwatchable here as the beam is slewed well east over Europe and is very poor in the UK.

Howver theres a new satellite slotting at 16E in a few weeks time so hopefully things should improve.

Ooh, that had passed me by ............... good news indeed.

The OP is after Tring, I believe.

HI thanks for your help. but did have it was working last year and signal was perfect. had not used for a while so put up new dish up and now cant get any quality.

The problem might lie in your STB.MVision HD200 can be a bit flaky.Go to GXMAX website and get the latest firmware.Follow the instructions for upgrading the firmware.Had the same problem with mine.

Last year the signals were coming off Eutelsat W2. She broke down at the beginning of the year and was replaced by Eutel W2M, Eurobird 16A and Sesat 1

The first two give reasonable signals in the UK but Sesat 1 is to put it bluntly rubbish.

Launch is mid September. If it goes ok W3B should be in service towards the end of October. However Tring is on one of the reasonable strength frequencies so summat isnt set up right on your system.
