[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 137972, member: 175057"] The main reason why Sky minidishes are not so good for Hispasat, is not necessarily the size, more that the majority of the LNBs fitted to them have very limited skew adjustment and are fixed to the Eastern satellites. The Skywares LNBs have free rotation so do not have that problem. The radiated power of the European beam provides some 50db to Southern UK and Ireland, so a zone 2 minidish is fine, I have recently installed a standard 45/50cm minidish in Souther England for Hispasat, as it had to go on a chimney and it works fine, apart from when there is very heavy rain. PS. My first motorised dish was a zone 2 minidish on an SM2UNI motor, worked well. :) [/QUOTE]
