[QUOTE="jleal, post: 899949, member: 175798"] Analoguesat thanks for answering. The 4 meter dish you are refering to, I believe was in the Algarve. I'm 250 to 300km north of the algarve and a bit less than 100km north of lisbon. What surprised me was the fact that this was considered a null zone but apparently it is not although on would need a huge dish to proper see any english tv. I've swaped the invacom to an inverto white I had lying around and got an increase in signal reception on the bbc's and also there is now a small signal on the channel five transponder. The e4 and the rest of the four team lost a bit with the inverto white. Reverting back to the invacom makes the bbc's and five almost disappear but brings back the others. Nevertheless it seems very difficult with my setup to have a stable watchable picture for some time. There is almost always some or a lot of pixelisation on all the channels except for a small part of the day when the channel four group shines almost pixelization free. This is aslo dependent on the weather off course. Yesterday there was a bit of a haze in the air and that was enough to completly wipe out all signals for the most part of the day. I'm no expert but I believe an upgrade from my 1.8m to a 2.4 could bring these channels with no pixalization altough I believe that with no margin for clouds not to mention any rain and not 24h/7. Maybe a minimum of 3meters would bring 24/7. What do you think? [/QUOTE]
