My System: Sky Plus V3 TDS 470n, Pace 2600CI, Thomson Sky HD, Technomate 1000D, Prodelin 1.8m dish + Invacom Quad C120, CM feed, Lacuna/Wolsey V3 meter

33dbi gain is pretty low, I would say you could only use one of these in southern England. By comparison, a Raven 60 cm mini dish has a gain of 35.9 at the same frequency. It will have even lower gain than 33dBi at 10.7 ghz, the band used by the BBC. Probably the equivalent to a 45 cm conventional parabolic dish.
