My System: 85 cm dish | some people say that with 4.2 m dish you are able to get only horizontal polarization signal ... any experience with bigger dish for vertical polarization ? | ||

My System: DM800 with Smargo and Sky UK World+HD option - Toroidal dish with 8 lnb ( 28.2E, 19.2E, 16E, 13E, 9E, 4.8E, 0.8W, 4W) + DM7020s + SkyUK freesat and 120m movable dish with stab rotor and invacom lnb. | A big dish solution is very hard and insure indeed. You're really out of Astra 2D beam, so that a big dish could not be the right solution for your problem. You could really loss your money and time uselessly. Maybe, it could be better a subscription to the new ***sat package on Intelasat 905 at 24.5W with a 6ft or 8ft dish. I've read bad things about trusting to this, just on a forum's thread too: but it could be a less desperate solution than a huger dish one. Max | ||

It could be a very bad idea to do... Max | |||

My System: 3m(sky),1.8m(astr/hotbird),1m (nilesat)1m(arabsat)diseqc 4,sky plus,humax freesat,visionet 8000s,technomate 5400 ci+ usb super. Satlook nit colour + Horizon hdsm. wii  | Jimis, the minimum would be 3m but I would recommend a 3.8m for guarantees. But only for the 2D horizontal frequencies,no verticals even on a 4.2m.Where abouts in Nicosia ? I have had good results in Deftera and Tseri. | ||
