[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 741178, member: 256551"] A 60cm is probably the smallest you'd want to put on a motor. Motorised is better than fixed as the dish can be smaller and get more satellites, but not so convenient if feeding to receivers in other rooms. The dish needs to go high enough to see over any obstacles. I don't think that you will have much of a problem for eastern satellites (including 1W), but your western sats will start to get blocked by the roof. The other problem can be, the dish or LNB arm hitting the roof tiles, so it has to be high enough and enough away to not do that. The larger the dish the more difficult it is to achieve that, because the LNB arm will be longer, and obviously the dish bigger. A Hirschmann 85cm aluminmium wouldn't be a bad choice if you didn't go for the smallest. [/QUOTE]
