1m funke dish
sky digital with zone 2

I don’t know if anyone can shed any light on this but I am VERY confused as is the sat engineers who have come out to my property.
We have a Zone2 Sky mini dish installed at the moment with an octo lnb. This is currently installed about 12 foot off the ground. We originally had a Zone1 installed but the breakup was terrible and was replaced with a Zone2 installed on a bracket and pole just above gutter height (~30ft). The picture was better but breakup was still bad with sometimes completely losing signal all together in bad weather. Sky then decided they would try and have a subcontracted company come out and install us with a 1m dish on pole and bracket. When they cam out they could get a very good signal off sat1 but could not pick up 2,3,4,5,6,7,9. They tried everything but the 1m alloy funke dish (which I still have up) just would not get anything except sat1 on Astra 28.2E. So they have put the Zone2 back up with us still having problems. Again why would it pick up sat1 but none of the others?
Has anyone got any ideas on a better/bigger dish we could use? Are alloy dishes with octo-lnbs suitable for sky digi. I don’t care about dish size as long as its not over 1.2m I just want sky to work.
