Personally i wouldn't go less than a well tuned 1.2 mtr . A 1.5 or 1.8 is a good choice for good reliable signal capture of the various level of Tp levels that inhabit theses two birds. The bigger the dish size though, the bigger the installation tracking accuracy requirement becomes - a system with both AZ & EL motors helps to get over that .
 
dishpointer.com would give you a good estimate based on your location, enter your location, select the satellite your trying for and hit the search button.
 
Position is Berkshire. Just to the west of London.

Agreed. I use a 1.2m Prodelin/General Dynamics 3122 which is ex-Ka Band VSAT on an az-el so I can track non-geo. I'm not far away, in Essex, and some TPs are marginal. The VSAT Ka dishes have a better profile and more rigid construction, if you can find one. Precision/Elite used to make Ka specified reflectors but their standard ones are still good.
