My System: Triax 1.1m and Orbital 80cm Motorised Dishes. Various fixed Dishes. Eclectic selection of Digital and Analogue Receivers. Complex switching and distribution that SWMBO cannot fathom. Nor me. | But size really is important ................. If she wants BBC HD, then a change of heart is required! | ||

So give the missus an ultimatum - silly sized dish or no BBC HD  | ||

My System: Kabel BW | Or go with a Canal Digital subscription that offers BBC HD Scandinavia which is not the same but receivable with tiny dishes. If you want the original and without paying then the answer is the same as above. 3m should be just right according to a report from Salo at _http://huoltovalikko.keskustelupalstat.com/showpost.php?p=54057 that showed on a Nokia 9902S 7.4-8.9dB on 10847V connected to an Aerial 2.4m, Invacom Single(SNF031). I am not sure if this size would suffice for 24h reception all the year. | ||
| I demand: Pay-TV subscriptions worldwide available - with any receiver - just like print magazines ! Free access for free citizens now ! | |||

Nor me. | The short answer is no (There are longer answers .....!) Prime Focus not really commonly used below 1.2m or so - which is also the crossover region where Offset Dishes cease to be the norm. So as you need a Dish well over 1.2m anyway (for the Astra 2D route), it would almost certainly have to be a Prime Focus design. But do tell your wife that Prime Focus Dishes are truly elegant | ||
