[QUOTE="CB65, post: 43499, member: 178963"] [size=2]I am confused about the ‘fixed dish’ size required to receive Astra+Hotbird. My location, if it makes any difference, is central South coast. A local installer, from whom I requested an installation quote, said they always use a fixed 60cm dish for this twin sat set up. This is contrary to what I’ve read which suggests 70cm is the minimum. I then requested a ‘whole system’ quote from a supplier advertising in What Satellite Mag, he said dish sizes only come in 60cm or 80cm and I’d have to have an 80cm to get Astr+Hotbird. TM5500CI+dish(80cm)+lnb+Xcam+loader = £306. Other adverts in the same magazine state a Sky Zone 2 dish 60cm elliptical is suitable for Astr+Hotbird. As the dish, in my situation, will have to go on the front of the house I would prefer to keep the size to the minimum without loss of quality. Mind you I’m now thinking that if has to be 80cm then the same set up as above but motorised is £380 I would be grateful to receive experienced advice on the best dish size for Astr+Hotbird fixed, and comment on the motorised package.
