[QUOTE="Franky_D, post: 844359, member: 375172"] Than you! Satbeams.com suggests 90cm dish for Eutelsat 36A, which might not provide reserve for bad weather. With 120cm Channel Master and small LNBf (Inverto Black Pro 0.2dB ) reception is very solid for both DVB-S and DVB-S2 24/7 in all weather conditions including light rain/snow. With feed horn and Invacom LNB i hope to get more reserve during the rainy season! :) Hamburg seems to be closer to the 2F spot beam and should be getting better reception... Maybe we are indeed blessed here with some sidelobe! :) Frankly, I did not spend much time when setting the dish to Astra 2F, I might have got 0.2-0.5 dB better SNR if I fine-tuned it better. But i simply did not have much time that day and for my tests max signal was irrelevant. One professional Sat company here told me that Astra 2F with 120cm - was "mission impossible", therefore I was actually surprised that I could get it. On a sunny day I could see all open HD and SD channel, did not try it on 24/7 basis (not interested in 2F as such). [/QUOTE]
