[QUOTE="PoloMint, post: 127480, member: 175235"] Near Marbella a 1.2m offset dish will pick up everything except some of Astra 2B North beam. Off the top of my head that includes Channel 5, a few of the Sky Movies channels and quite a lot of the UKTV +1 channels (the non +1 channels are mostly OK) Have a look at this list [url]http://www.lyngsat.com/packages/skyuk.html[/url] in the 'beam' column look for 2B North, 2A North goes off in poor weather. However where you are Astra 2D might be a problem, that has all the BBC and ITV regions on it, so you should try and get some local reports. [url]www.astra2d.com[/url] might have some. The receiver and LNB are of course important and will affect this too. Also are you sure that it is a 1.3m dish you are getting? Lots of installers in Spain sell 1.2m offset dishes as 1.3m or 1.4m dishes, as depending on how you measure a 1.2m offset dish you can come up with any of those sizes. [/QUOTE]
