[QUOTE="joddle, post: 827874, member: 247983"] The problem In Barcelona and that area really is not that UK tv cannot be got from 2F, but that most people who watch it are currently using small dishes!. In turn this means there is no one around who can give us an indication of signals from say 1.3m or 1.5m dishes in that area - as there are simply virtually none installed there at the moment for 28.2E The next problem is that no one in their right mind is going to get a new dish until they know what size will work well there - and as no-one has that answer it is a bit of vicious circle. I think the one way forward is for some installers to run some experiments with various sized dishes to determine which would be suitable and then announce that information so people will have the confidence to buy- however I think some poeple will then suspect dealers may simply go for the most espensive oprtion to a) ensure they are correct and b maybe to get a good profit. Another option is for people with larger dishes to start reporting their findings - and of course that appeal has already gone out from this website but so far with little response at the moment - no doubt due to the scarcity of such dishes in the area. Before things can get better someone has to take the plunge and see what size dish is needed - no doubt when this happens everyone can then decide what to do - but until then, everyone is waiting for someone else to move - and add to that things may change a little with 2E - catch 22!
