[QUOTE="dxsat, post: 379352, member: 193607"] If it's any help, my Lacuna Mk3 meter will show a measureable 2D signal at a level a digibox cannot register. They cost about £300, but, as Rolf says, a spectrum analyser will do this job better but cost a fortune. You could make an educated guess about how much bigger a dish needs to be to get a stable picture, when you're receiving a trace of 2D. The answer is usually a lot bigger. I made the mistake of thinking that changing from a 1.2 metre dish to a 1.5 metre would pull in horizontal 2D channels at night, 6 pm - midnight. It didn't, and I had to spend yet more money on a 1.8 metre. [/QUOTE]
