My System: Sky Plus kit in the UK | Hi Everyone, Can some one advise a newbe what to do. I'm moving to Gibraltar, but will probably live in southern Spain when I get settled, but want to take my sky dish with me. What Dish is best to buy etc, and what would I expect to get? Will I get everything I can get now? Thanks a lot. Larry | ||

My System: 43cm Dish, Sky Plus v2, Thomson DSI4214, FRACARRO PENTA 85cm, Invacom Twin, Moteck SG2100a H-H DiSEqC Motor, TF5000CI, TM-5200D, Sling Media, Rover Discovery ST-4, Rover SDM-1s, 57E to 58W, Tecatel 1.35m fixed on 28e, Pace D5430-N | Warm welcome to satellites forum, For Sl<y reception in that region you'll catch the South beam Ok but I would say for the UK Spot beam ( BBC, Ch4 and ITV) a 2M+ dish would be required. SM

My System: Sky Plus V3 TDS 470n, Pace 2600CI, Thomson Sky HD, Technomate 1000D, Prodelin 1.8m dish + Invacom Quad C120, CM feed, Lacuna/Wolsey V3 meter | In Gibraltar area you will need a 1.2m dish. You may find these described as 1.3m, this is measured vertically (wrongly) Best quality dishes are Gibertini, (available from _www.engel.es) Prodelin or ChannelMaster. You may struggle to find these dishes on the Costa del Sol as most shops and installers go for rock bottom quality. | ||
