23.5E is very strong, so a 60cm shouldn't be a problem, unfortunately 4.8E, Viasat sports, is a different matter, for the Nordic beam you'll probably need at least a 1M dish, and maybe larger, to avoid losing signal in the rain.

OpenBox X5 on a 1 meter motorized dish.
And now a 10 foot "C" band dish.

look on satbeams.com, it will provide an active footprint map, select the satellite from the list, and any beam or transponder, you can then zoom into your location and click on it, it will give you an estimated dish size needed for that satellite.
