Some channels are fanstastic signal quality and reception others not so good can even be as low as 20% but rather strangely I still receieve them with no problems. To give you an idea of what I get:- Anything BBC or ITV (CH4 too) I don't receive.I get all sky channels E.G. sky 1 HD, sky living it, all sky movies (in standard def only) apart from sky showcase which I oddly get in HD.I get most disney children channels minus and quite a few others (boomerang etc.) Also receiving channels like DMAX, quest, most discovery science stuff again as long as it's not in HD.I can no longer recieve DAVE HD or now even dave SD, and have recently lost GOLD.When I installed this at christmas time just gone, reception was steady and mostly 80% at most times regardless of channel (give or take a few), everything was fine up until a few months ago when I was watching dave hd, turned over them back again and gone ever since. I also then lost a few more a month later with things like gold being intermittent, however after a recent problem the list above is what I am left with. I looked for any transponder changes on the KINGOFSAT website and couldn't see any changes for the channels I have lost (after the date I lost them of course).I had a chat with an installer before I made the install as I originally wanted him to do it, but after a few days he got back to me with "Oh you will need a 3M dish I've checked". I immediately thought codswallop as I had seen on a few polish forums people had received the channels with a much smaller dish some reporting perfect reception with 2.4M. Anyway on a whim and due to cost I went for the 1.1M because I got everything included, at the time I would say I got between 80 and 90% of what was available, so what I would like is some advice on what you guys think would do it to receive everything! If not pretty much everything. I couldn't go as far as 3M that would cost a fortune and I could only imagine putting that on the roof somehow (it's a flat roof).I was hoping that maybe 1.8M could do it, as at the moment the 1.1M I have is on a pole on the balcony and 1.8M I would be quite happy installing stronger support, maybe a stand up pole on the back of the balcony (what kind of price would I be looking at)Of course I am also looking to do a box upgrade possibly 1 - 2TB with built in WI-FI (I use a VPN for the box connection, so tracking the box is no problem, if sky even do that)Much obliged for your timeMark</blockquote>
