Have you seen it?   Why not post a sensible answer, people will appreciate it more    Report

What size dish do you have?    Report

Going on from dish size, what is the next size up fro the standard supplied dishes here? Will this help eliminate breaking up of the picture in the rain? I'm extreme South as mentioned earlier (E of Carcassonne) Thanks    Report

Have a look here http://www.brittany-satellites.com/astra_footprint.php which gives you the satellite footprint and the dish size required.    Report

Have a look here http://www.brittany-satellites.com/astra_footprint.php which gives you the satellite footprint and the dish size required. .. Done using the on screen signal/strength indicator which I have found more accurate than a meter.. I have the best signal I can so far find, although I am going to re-wire the setup to eliminate a couple of connectors I have along the coax.. And I'm going to look in to finding the best coax spec available? I'm on the cusp of a 90/120cm dish but in a wide valley with no obstructions.. Is a 120cm dish going to make a huge difference in poor weather> Thanks, and a bit off topic - sorry..    Report
