I am hoping to install a SKY satellite system in a property that I own in the Bodrum area of Turkey. I have been told that with well sourced components a 1.5m to 1.8m dish should be able to pick up a good selection of Sky channels on the 2A and 2B Astra satellites. (I know that 2D is going to be impossible with those sizes) I was thinking of buying an Invacom quad 0.3db LNB in the UK (easier to find and purchase in the UK) along with a good length of quality satellite cable and a Pace digibox and taking them out on my next visit. The only addition would then be a satellite dish and mount.
What I would like to ask is: what is the most popular type of dish in the 1.5 to 1.8 metre range to be found in Turkey. Is it a prime focus or an offset and are there any major differences in price between the two types (or for that matter in performance). Ideally it would be easier to take out a universal Invacom LNB suitable for an offset dish as it would eliminate the need for finding an appropriate feed horn but if I do this am I going to be able to find an offset dish easily in this size.
Any recommendations for dishes or suppliers in the Bodrum area or any other suggestions would be most welcome.
