[QUOTE="Jacobo40, post: 646806, member: 281789"] Thanks, embalse, for your comments and pics. Both will be very useful. I live in Salamanca, with an 80cm Televés dish and a Mot-Sat 3 motor. A 180cm dish here would give me almost all of Astra 2D, 24/7 (a fellow Brit in town has that set-up and those results). As I explained, that size of dish is not feasible where I live, so the 125cm Gibertini is a compromise. It should also give me stronger reception of Astra 2D, Intelsat 10-02, Nilesat, BADR and a couple of others. Mostly my problem is getting a qualified installer in town who can set up the system for me. Most installers here are only called upon to install Digital+, hence my inquiry about documentation. As an aside and as an example of how strange (capricious?) Astra 2D can be, in a village 125k due west of Salamanca, at the Portuguese border, and with the same equipment as in the city, I get all of ITV, Channel 4 (and variants) BBC1 (regional) but not BBC2,BBC3, etc. Depending on how things work out in the city I may repeat the operation in the village. Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
