though i cant fault this as a good idea, it might be worth considering a panasonic tu-dsb30.. i live 160 km west of stockholm and didnt get a sniff of itv till i got one, with a 1 metre dish i get itv /bbc 24/7 except when it rains.
you can mail me if you like if you want more help
btw do you get tcm and parliament clearly ?
Yes I get BBC Parlament and TCM clearly, except on
rainy or windy days.
I am thinking about buying a Gilbertni 100 or 120 dish.
Of course as you hinted my Pace 2200 might not be
sensive enough leaving me with no option but to change it to something else.

this is a good way to guage your signal quality btw.. the best signal in your area starts with
1. channel4,
then channel 5 and sky news,
then parliament and tcm,
then ITV,
then finally bbc channels which are the weakest
i believe as an intelligent guess this will happen if you upgrade to the 120 with your pace 2200:
you will get itv, broken or good in good weather,
and probably very poor bbc
if you get a panasonic dsb-30 and 120 i think you will get all the channels
including bbc, and probably none or very little loss in the worst of weathers. probably almost the same with a
100 dish.. look for a panasonic dsb-30 on ebay. ;)
if you're left with very little loss after this process the only way is increased dish size. bear in mind
that this advice is for recieving astra 2d horizontal stuff only. btw you wont
get astra 2d on vertical without a 2.4metre dish. but thats not a problem, only ITV2 and a bunch of bbc
regions are on vertical
