[QUOTE="dxsat, post: 430324, member: 193607"] 1.2m dish minimum for BBC in Madrid, no rain margin, only BBC 1 & ITV 1.8m dish, all BBC until 10pm, good rain margin during daytime, less so evening. Some areas BBC 2 24 hours/day. Above sizes are for well tuned dish with best possible components and receiver. I have no experience of the gear you are using as a receiver. Sky channels only: 60cm (no BBC, ITV or Channel four) Hispasat for Digital +: Use a diseqc switch for 30 west reception if your receiver supports this. LNB: Ignore all claims for 0.2 dB performance of a LNB, in fact avoid any make which states this figure. Invacom and MTI are the only LNBs that work well in Madrid, Smart Titanium are not completely reliable, but sometimes give good results. [/QUOTE]
