Never going back to Sky TV. Ever!
My Satellite Setup
Humax HDR1100S Freesat Recorder. Octagon UHD satellite box with Gibertini 1m motorised dish. Triax TD78 for Freesat. Triax TD64 for Freesat to 3 rooms. 2 Panasonic Freeview+ HD recorders.
My Location
North-East England, UK
Advice please on which satellites I could use a Zone 2 Sky dish. Would 16E be OK? :)
 
Yes 16e would be fine,

I have seen 13e, 16e, 19.2e before on a zone 2 dish with slight modification to the lnb bracket
 
Yeah, me too! Seeing as my dish motor is US, I have to go down a different route (multibracket and LNB's). Thanks for that. :)
 
16E it's a very low power satellite these days .. anything Mpeg 4 needs at least 80cm ... from my experience .
 
When I looked at the footprint and dish size, according to that I can use a 50cm as the UK and other countries are in the middle of the footprint. May be wrong mind you. :)

Very strong in south west here, you could center on 16e and offset 13e and 19.2e which are both super strong birds anyway
 
Yeah, that sounds like a good idea :)
