[QUOTE="ameolive, post: 57534, member: 175604"] Lummer Eursat people can tell you whatever they want to sell you the most expensive equipment . Thankfully we are living in the era of the Enlightment and we can judge by ourself , these are the facts : 1) From the official ASTRA charts, you see that with a .9 mt dish you can receive ASTRA 2B North ( Channel 4 ) without problem. These figures are evaluated for an average equipment ( e.g a dish in good condition, a cable lenght less than 30 mt, and a standard LNB ) and, as far as I know, are pretty conservative so they should work also for bad weather conditions. 2) As I have already told you, we've been watching ( myself and my beloved English wife ) Ch4 Ch5 for more than 2 years using a 0.8m dish, a standard LNB ( paid at RER 20 euro ) and normal satellite cable. Of course i did the installation by myself ( again forget signal finders and just follow Sullivan's suggestion!!!) and to be totally honest with you it took more than 3 hours. We have problems watching Ch4 only in heavy rain conditions. Of course a brand new 1mt dish would perform much better but to be honest I do not intend to spoil the view from my balcony with a large dish ( believe me 20 cm means a lot ! ) when there is no real need for that. Finally as for the offer on e-bay, I found the price totally consistent with the market prices and the scenario of someone who wants to get rid of the equipment as soon as possible. Just a question why do you want to take all this equipment from UK and my be risking to damage it ( in Stansted and Ciampino baggage handling staff are notorius to be particularly good a t breaking almost everything ) when you can have the same in Rome for less ?
