[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 566676, member: 256551"] Hi, Reading a few reports for that area, an 80cm seems to be the general consensus as the minimum size needed. Cologne is inside the published Astra 2D footprint, so you shouldn't have too much trouble. Go for one of the run-of the-mill LNBs to start with, there's no point spending the extra if you don't need to. I have always found the Inverto Silvertechs to work the best out of the few i have tried, and they are nice and cheap. Set up tips:- Go to dishpointer.com , to check which way the dish has to point. Find somewhere that you have a clear view of the sat Mount the dish firmly. Use a Receiver as a signal meter, to tweak the dish, and remember to adjust the skew and the in and out position of the LNB for best signal. Or use a professional meter if you have/can borrow/hire one. [/QUOTE]
