Dish size?

[sproggy]

Hello

I have a 80cm dsh and want to get 1w is this possible or do I need a bigger dish
I am from Manchester, England

Or does any one have a link to a webpage that tells you what size dish will get you which satellites

Thanks

should be ok for most of the transponders if you already have the dish give it a go with a good quality meter

Thor 2 and Intelsat 10-02 should come in loud and clear, but you'll struggle with Thor 3

hi

yes if its for digi tv -- i,v been recieving on 60 cm until i put up an 80cm recently ---
i used to lose some transponders in bad weather on 60 cm
i,m about 60 miles north of manchester

regards c.c.

I live in Manchester, have a triax64cm dish and with this get C+ sport channels and C+film etc.
No chance with digitv though.

Also note yesterday afternoon when it was chucking it down I could not get anything with the 64cm from 1.0w.

This week I am replacing the triax 64cm with a triax 88cm.

Got a 104 cm Gibertini and get 95/85 for Canal dig but only 78/85 for the others. Thor 3 gets dodgy (bit of breakup) in bad weather.

Cwappy DB 720 tuner doesn't help.

Big is best so they say. :)

Hello sproggy,

Try h__p://www.dishpointer.com/
Put in your location (post code) and the satellite which you want to point to.
Go to down to the "Satellites" tab and this gives all the satellites which you can get and dish size.

Have fun,
