[QUOTE="Huevos, post: 712792, member: 301161"] I've heard the tuner in them is supposed to be excellent. About 15-20 metres but I have checked at the dish. BER is the same at the LNB and at the receiver. More than 20 km mate (see below). I find from Javea going north getting 12480 V is easy 24/7 on an 80cm dish. Down here it is part time on a 1.5m dish. Other north beams are harder. For example to receive Sky Sports News requires at least a 1.8m, and a 2.4m for 24/7 reception. Going south it gets easier again from Gran Alacant, but nowhere near as easy as Javea up. In Torrevieja 1.2m seems to be becoming the de facto size for 2D vertical reception and most of those dishes struggle to get the north beams.
