Its 1.8m for the Manchester area, Id expect quite a bit bigger would be required in Northern Ireland. At a guess Id say start thinking nearer 2.4m

2.4m sounds good. Channel master used to make one this size. Wonder if Andrews make them these days...

In answer to my own question, they do. At a little over £2600 it's a bit steep.

Have tryed on a 1.8 meter channel master and could not get a lock on the showtime channels. 2.4 or 3.0 meter would be a better possibilty but may still struggle as these transponders are very weak in the UK.

i think your talking about nearer 3.5m dish to get the best reception on the channels , which is way too big

is it the football the customer wants as there is other channels like canal digital on 1west or sky italia on 13e which show many games

It is for the football. It's the number 3pm matches and other matches he's after. He has Sky and 1West. He's been on a popular satellite football website which has give him this info.

A simple underscore at the start of the address will keep you within the rules.
