[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 812083, member: 176256"] A 700mm x 600mm dish is known as a 70cm dish in Spain and a 60cm dish (the effective size) in the rest of the world. This is really too small for that far south and I would expect an 80cm dish to be more realistic. BUT as you may have read here there's a new satellite in the offing. This won't affect the signal that gives you the programme guide on the HDR, that's carried on an entirely different satellite, but will impact on the signal footprint for nearly all the Freesat channels. The problem is that nobody knows what size dish will needed then and even 80cm may not be big enough. The new satellite (2F) was supposed to be launched this week but has now been put back "for a few days". Going on the original launch date we would have expected it to be in service in a month or two so can you justify expenditure which might need updating by Christmas? [/QUOTE]
