[QUOTE="Old Satellite, post: 16269, member: 175277"] First option i would suggest is to small, your current dish is likely to be already higher gain. what is your current dish? Second channel master 1.8 is generally a very good dish with proven abilities. The Tecatel should be also fine although I do not have knowledge of this dish myself- its listed performace seems ok however they do list the gain at 12.6 Ghz which is not following normal convention. Both potentially should improve upon your current problem, please note however though that even with a 1.8 mtr it is still very close to the reception footprint on Astra 2D at your location Normally I would have reccomeded a 2.4 mtr for 100 % reception. However your results suggest that may be the 1.8 will provide good reception. Please also note the differnce between the channel master which is an offset dish and the Tecatel which is prime focus you may need to source a feed horm dependent upon your current dish etc. Regards Old Satellite [/QUOTE]
