[QUOTE="Skip Channel, post: 197299, member: 175117"] Although I'd prefer much bigger dishes if I could get away with it, you should be able to pick up Astra 1 and Hotbird easily with a dish smaller than 90cm at your location. IMHO an 80cm dish would be sufficient and have enough margin for rain fade. Disclaimer: I've never tried setting up any dish of any size in Bristol so take what I say as pseudo "theory" not practical experience! I have set up a beaten up 80cm Astra/Hotbird dish in north Hampshire though and it worked well with analogue (it were a few years ago) and you can get away with murder with digital! Plus there's more powerful transponders at 19.2e and 13e now. [/QUOTE]
