My System: 1.8m PF Dish, most sky and freesat recivers, 80cm on Illusion motor and Dreambox DM7025, TDT | a 1.35 can limit reception of channels at certain times of the day - so you can go for this smaller dish if you can live with not having certain channels (like bc2 and c4) on a 24./7 basis. - as you say "most of the day" - make sure it is not when you will be wanting to watch those channels generally the minimum requirement is a 1,8... in areas around benidorm a 2.4 is recommended, | ||

ok thanks, looks like the add in costa blanca times about the 1.35 dish is dreaming, it did not state the db of the so called high perf dish, it looks like i will have to stick with the 1 mt, has i have not got the room for a 1,8. would the new freesat box perform any better, i no there are both still using the same sat thanks again | ||
