I've got a fixed installation to hispasat at the moment in Manchester on a 1.0 m Channel Master dish. The installation is rock solid, and I have never had any outage due to weather etc. At the time I got it installed, I took advice from a variety of sources, and nobody really recommended less than 1.0 m for reliable reception from Manchester. You could be lucky and get away with less.

For (obvious) reasons, I'm going to motorise my dish shortly ...

Hi,is that the 60cm oval dish?

It's around 75cm in width, but you need a Skyware LNB on it so that you can adjust the skew to west of south.

I had a standard digibox and Via Digital subscription in Northern Scotland. Reception was fine on standard sky minidish receiving a solid signal in all weathers I was surprised but happy..

Wotsat says that most channels on Hispasat are receivable on a 60cm dish, however I have a 80cm set up in the south east and can only get a handful of channels such as SexyHot but with a low signal strength! my systems consists of a humax 5100ci, xcam 1.04, titcard and 80cm solid dish.

I`d expect better preformance from your dish size, how old is the LNB ?

You are replying to a post from 4 years ago.....check out the datestamp
Thus his lnb is four years older than it was
