[QUOTE="dxsat, post: 349296, member: 193607"] Thanks! In Madrid the low point is from 11pm till about 4-5 am. A 1.2m dish will receive everything in the mornings from about 6 am till lunchtime, depending on location. A 1.5m will extend these hours but evenings will frustrate. When I was using the Gibertini some days BBC2 was Ok till 10.30, others it would break uparound 7pm. This kind of thing can drive you crazy. If you are looking for BBC2 all day a 1.8m is essential. In the winter months to the north of Madrid all channels are 24 hours. Good areas for BBC 2 are: Venturada area, Manzanares, Urbanizaciones Santo Domingo and Ciudalcampo. Poorer areas are around the south west part of the M40, from Torrelodones to Getafe. In these parts vertical transponders are better, for BBC 1 and ITV. If you want BBC channels there are few options to cut corners, unfortunately. BBC HD is easy to receive here. [/QUOTE]
