[QUOTE="eubster, post: 833067, member: 305966"] Many thanks to all of you for your useful suggestions. Tivu makes a good point about 2E....so I think I'll probably just live with it for now (theoretically it's not supposed to rain that much down in this part of the world!) and once the new sat is up there and broadcasting, I'll re-assess. I checked again and in fact as my dish is an offset, it is in fact 1m tall and 90cm wide, so I have no idea whether you classify that as a 90cm or a 1m. Nevertheless, a quick look on the 2galli site indicates that the next step up is probably 1.2M. I don't have room on the roof for something much bigger than that although I'm unsure how much difference that would make. I guess the gain is the most important (Experts please correct me if I'm wrong) factor. The blurb indicates that my current dish has a gain 39.7db at 12750 Ghz and the 1.2M would have a gain of 41.8db at the same frequncy. Is that a significant difference? Thanks, [/QUOTE]
