[QUOTE="spiney, post: 116600, member: 192438"] I'm not in Italy, but ...... For best chance of getting desired channel, use biggest dish you can (although 80cm should be adequate), and lnb with lowest "noise figure", which also increases your chances. Yes, 0.3dB is lower (and therefore better) than 0.5, 0.2 better than 0.3, etc. Otherwise, you have to be able to "see" the satellite, with no trees or buildings blocking the transmission path (obviously!). Note that (British?) CH4 is Videocrypt encoded, so you'll need (somehow!) a Sky viewing card. A twin lnb is for dual satellite reception, so why do you want that? [/QUOTE]
