[QUOTE="mickwig, post: 1101237, member: 401397"] As I wrote in my previous post, in the moment levels are really high. This will change after spring sun outage. By the middle of the year you will have problems with all the HD tp's. Even SD will get worse especially with rain and always at night, when you need it the most. Believe me, I have tried, even SW professional LNB. I have been playing this game since the changeover many years ago. You seem to be centered on 2G because you receive ITV HD quite strongly. But before you decide on the size of your new dish you should maybe wait until next summer. I installed 180cm in August after the changeover. Within 1 day I knew that that would not work and ordered the 240cm. The signal weakens a lot near the flanks. Also, you must be somewhere near the Austrian border (100k se of munich). So I am only about 250k nnw from your position and I need a huge dish to receive the UK beam. ITV HD on 2G does not work at all, there are SKY tp's on the europe neam right next to it which mask the weaker UK beam tp. BBC 1HD works OK, but not 24/7, BBC4 HD on 2F or G is hard to get. But my dish has an opening of 0.7 deg, so I had to choose a bird and I stuck with 2E on 28.5. Tweaking the dish or changing the LNB will get you minutes more viewing time and no reserve.
