[QUOTE="Yorks, post: 510876, member: 191461"] Yes you are right. It's all about the strength of the signal being broadcast, and the focus and footprint of the beam. Eutelsat W2 at 16E is not as strong as Hotbird 13E in the UK. You may get away with a 60cm zone 2 dish - but most people go for a 90cm dish to cope with rain fade. It would be a little annoying paying a subscription for something you can't receive in inclement weather. (90% of the time in Manchester). :-rofl2 Maybe someone in your area has a zone 2 who can comment. Yorks :) [/QUOTE]
