[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 1080127, member: 199791"] As far as I can recall (been a while since I read up on BSB specs), the two Marcopolo satellites were quite high power, two because the IBA insisted on there being a backup, compared to most other satellites, so they could use smaller dishes and the famous BSB Squarial, so that they weren't as intrusive as the sky opposition of the larger dishes, some of which being white and emblazoned with the Amstrad-Fidelity name, given ol' Alan Sugar's products were even then known to be cheap and nasty... :) [/QUOTE]
