[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 5904, member: 175144"] To Rolf Sorry but the catalogue and manual of this antenna is rather misleading The Toroid 55 will just about receive satellites at about 30 degrees maimum. This means 1 West and 45 West is not possible In practice even 13 East and 45 East were just out of reach though it was possible to get 45 and 19 East If you are looking at all satellites positioned close together (28, 19, 13, and 5 East then there is no problem (except the gain of the 55 prevents anything apart from Russian channels appearing from 5 East) By the way it will NOT allow you to get satellites at 3 degree spacing owing to the size of the clamps and the LNB feed diameters, so 19, 16 and 13 are out. Toroid 90 (not tested)is even less forgiving with satellites only 20 degrees spacing available being received (though the gain is higher) Cost of T55 when imported works out approimately the same as three 65 cm steel antennas so you have to work out if it really is worth the hassle. Nevertheless it is a very well designed piece of kit, and well constructed. If your stuck with only one dish permission then this might be for you Alternatively go get a motor and fitting kit, it really expands the horizon (sic) [/QUOTE]
