[QUOTE="dxsat, post: 373582, member: 193607"] You have three issues here: -if the Technomate 1500 has the same tuner as the Technomate 1000 model, it will be very poor for Astra 2D. Change it for a secondhand Pace 2600 CI. -the dish will be 1.2 metres. In Spain dishes are measured vertically to give the impression you're getting more for your money. The convention everywhere else is to measure a dish on its horizontal dimension. 1.2 metres is probably too small to get 2D channels all evening in the Balearics. -to get the best performance, upgrade to an Invacom C120 quad or twin with a separate feedhorn, or to a MTI BlueLine 0.6 single. (The Sharp 0.3 mentioned above does not work at all well in Spain due its poor resistance to interference, though it's ok elsewhere.) [/QUOTE]
