The TD78 will very much struggle with 16e

Whoops, too late now as I've got the thing installed.

Should have really gone with my gut feeling which was to get the TD88 as once the dish is installed it doesn't look that big.

Similar thing happened when I got my 42" plasma, a month or so later I was wishing I had got the 50" instead.

I think whilst I'm playing and learning the current setup will do :)

Depeding on location,it should just about be able to manage Tring, but some DigitAlb or other weak transponders will not be possible.

I live in Islington in a Council flat (we own the flat). We have a south facing wall, which is also facing the street.
Would I be allowed to put up a dish, motorised would be preferred and would the allowed dish (1m was mentioned in a post above) in that case be able to access 1w and 5e?

There are a total of 6 flats in our house (we're on the top floor) and there are currently 2 sky dishes (one if ours) would we be allowed to keep this one?
There is a 3rd sky dish on another wall.

You'd have to consult the Council, I suspect, even though you own the Flat.

The thing is, there are likely to be Restrictive Covenants in your Title to the Flat and if that is the case, they take precedence overall the generality of Planning Regs.

Thanks, I'll try and get in contact with them. Last time I tried I got some mixed messages and it wasnt clear if we were even allowed to have the three dishes on the building as it was...
