Hi,
I am new to this forum and I hope I am posting this in the correct place.
The thing is, I have been asked by the council to remove the dish as it brakes the planning regulations (Welwyn Hatfield Council).
Its partially my fault because I got an 88cm Triax dish without realising that it actually is bigger then that. I actually measured with a tape measure before complaining with the council. So it is actually larger then the 90cm limit.
Anyway, since in these cases size appears to matter and reception quality with the current setup is not always good, going to a smaller dish may mean even worst results. Is there any dish you particularly recomend which is smaller then 90cm and may perform similarly or even better then my existing triax 88cm?
I assume I can also improve the signal by using a better quality LNB. Any suggestions?
Finally, I would like to say that council employees involved in the planning process should probably be more aware of the fact that the satellite dishes cannot be installed inside the shed away from everybody's sight. It actually needs to "see" the satellites so it almost always need to be installed in a wall facing south.
Thanks
