[QUOTE="Greenthumb, post: 1081890, member: 414542"] Since 1998 I have been watching the Sky package on Astra with focus on BBC, ITV, Channel 4 etc. At first I was able to use a 60cm dish at my home 50 kms south of Munich without any problem. Upgraded the dish to 85cm 2000, good reception using a used Panasonic Sky box purchased from The Satellite Shop in Tunbridge Wells. Without any problems, until it gave up, a newer also used box, was purchased in 2007. Then living in the Heidelberg, Mannheim area, everything worked without a hitch, even to the point of being able to aim the dish by eye sighting. 2017, moved back to Southern Bavaria and and now will set up the system once again. Things have changed a little however. Astra 2, using a UK beam, has placed me on the fringe of the reception area. Because of this and after reading Satellite TV reports, I will purchase a 125 cm Gibertini dish and hope that this will bring the channels to my television. The Sky box is still good so I will use this in conjunction with a Humax LNB. Any thoughts and comments on this set up will be greatly appreciated as I see that the most experienced Sat TV viewers post to the forums on this website. I found Satellites.co.uk by chance and a piece of good fortune it was for me to be able to read comments from a wealth of experience. Thanks for expert assistance from all and wish you all clear viewing. [/QUOTE]
