[QUOTE="timo_w2s, post: 865608, member: 196043"] You shouldn't really fit one of those normal LNBs on the dish, you need to get one designed for a UK Sky dish to get the maximum signal out of it due to the different shape of the dish. Ideally one of a different make to the one on the dish now to eliminate possible incompatibilities with the TV. It's a shame the installer didn't test a new length of WF100 cable from the dish. The shotgun cable is quite thin and could be damaged or letting in interference. I only use WF100 these days, I've even brought a reel with me to Finland so I knew I was using decent stuff. Having a 60cm dish is no bad thing as it's better for rain fade but in theory there is no reason why you can't use a standard Sky dish at your location assuming it is aligned properly and has a clear view of the sky.
