[QUOTE="Coviello, post: 532791, member: 175681"] It might be that a 2.40 cm Prodelin dish can do the job in your location. However, satellites have got a relatively short life, and when they are getting older, their signal decreases. This means that a dish big enough today could not be enough tomorrow. So, it was wise to purchase a bigger one. I have got a Prodelin 3.4 m dish. It was not easy to assembly it in a proper way. The assembly manual provided by the manufacturer was good but it did not stress the critical points. Unfortunately, if the assembly of the petals is not 100% perfect, the dish works as a smaller one. I had to replace the feed since it was not good for ku-band (like BBC on Astra 2d). In the end, the assembly was perfect, and the dish has the performance promised by its manufacturer. In case, you need some advice, please send me a private message. I visit Perugia many times, since my daughter is a student at the local university. Coviello [/QUOTE]
