[QUOTE="Mooncamm, post: 1103146, member: 411643"] I am North of you in Grimsby. I use Octagon 88+ Signal is normally 79% Quality is often 95 - 100% Actual picture - excellent at all times. Rain has never degraded the picture on the French channels on this bird. Dish - 1 metre Gibertini stacked on a STAB motor. I think your dish will do well as you are not as close to the fringe footprint as I am. As a back up for the winter in case my motor fails. (I am over 60 and can't repair dishes/motors in winter months as pain stops play) I have an old sky 60cm dish pointing at 19 east to get the French channels for that bird. I have bolted a spare LNB onto the 60cm dish to receive 28 east so that I can watch all the ITV regions from there. The law says I can have a 1 metre dish and a Sky size dish without causing a planning permission problem so I have all things fixed up as I want them. All I have left to do in future is sort out some 4K satellite receiver viewing when the time is right. Bonne chance a Norfolk. :) [/QUOTE]
