Do you mean just Sky, or the Astra 2D channels as well?, this may affect the answer that you get.

To include BBC/ITV minimum 3.8m or 4.2M

What about North, South & Eb1 Zorba...

 

[Zorba]

To be honest,I am not sure. I never studied which beams we pick up but we do get12.402V and 12.480V which I think is the North beam. Whats on Eb1 ? we get true movies and chart show tv

Ok, it was dish size for North & South beams only.
It might be nice to have a clear dish size for 28e beams for Cyprus

Well,for west and south I would always say 3m and for the east 3.8-4.2(but recommend the 3.8m. Easier to install);)

3.8m might be easier to install but 4.2m is the only way to be sure of trouble free 2D reception..;)

dish size just for sky not bbc.
Thankyou

Okay 3.8m There are some non 2D channels which are weak in that area,like the movies and sky sports extra/news etc
And you would be covered if Sky decide to do some more frequency shifts.
