Help with Digi TV reception in UK
permalink
I have recently ordered a kit (receiver and smartcard) for Digi Tv Romania to use in the UK.

Could someone please advise me on buying a dish (with the appropriate LNB) as I am not very good at technical issues. I have already a wall-mounted dish and I would have to install this second dish somewhere in my garden.

What would be the best size for Oxford area? Here is the satellite beam for this:

Many thanks.

An 80cm dish with a universal LNB pointing at 1W should be fine. You *may* run into planning permission problems if you have stroppy neighbours - you are only allowed 1 dish under current uk planning laws

Thanks, Analoguesat. I already have a small Sky dish, but I assume neighbours are really OK. Few years ago I never thought one will be able to watch all Romanian channels (around 30) across Europe - and pay a mere £3.50 monthly subscription.

Best regards.

I'm not sure whether an 80cm will suffice in Oxford, I can't pull in those channels in Berkshire with my 80cm, I think that my friend can with his 1.1m though.
