[QUOTE="haggard, post: 68725, member: 183237"] Coca-C The DB is reputed to have poorer sensitivity than many other receivers and it is said that this will be sorted in the next version due out soon. But poor sensitivity can always be overcome by a larger dish -- up to a limit. It's just a question of the downlink power budget. You want to be 1dB C/N above threshold when it rains heavy. I assume you have checked with m8s what size dish they use for BBC (off Astra 2?) because I think it has to be humungously ginormous in Cyprus to get the current tight beam on UK. It may even be outside the lobes. There is a map in this months What Sat showing the dish size you need for BBC and I think it goes out to Cyprus. Think big. Think very big. [/QUOTE]
