[QUOTE="BX19RD, post: 585118, member: 314732"] Hi, I have been thinking for some time of playing with a dish, however where I live kinda puts a problem on things. On my side of the block we have no Sky services so no 28.2E or any other sat. (13E,19E) for that matter :( So I was thinking about trying to pick up 0.8W or 1W, now this is where the problems start, I have been thru LyngSat and checked foot prints, dishs sizes then I went and checked on DishPointer to see if I could and check some other details and hopefully gain more info. Now this is where the problem starts I am in the middle flat on the 14th floor, so I have to have a dish stick slightly out (I checked this with council and our concierge and well no one cares and im ok) however when I looked closely on where my flat is in realtion to the line I need for the sat I think I may still be out and unable to get 0.8/1W Before I was going to blow money on a proper receiver and dish I was going to get one of them chepo FTA kits (local shop has 60CM dish and some kind of generic box for £40 on offer) just to see if I can get SOMETHING but being a noob im not sure if that dish would be big enough anyhow :p I have taken a screenshot of the rough location of my flat (from DishPointer) and attached its slighty misleading the gap between the blocks is actually quite huge, the picture looks kinda warped :p [/QUOTE]
