    Is this true? Or too good to be true?

    It says it can receive 13, 19, 23,5 and 28 east all on the one dish, only 45 cm in diameter. No motor involved.

    Take into account it's designed for use in the Netherlands.

    There's a review in the current edition of Tele-satellite. It's OK for continental Europe, but too small for here.

    80cm for multisat here. We are on the Edge of Europe. The Celtic Fringe :)

    How about in London? Sufficiently 'continental' for this to give good results or not?

    Only when they change to Km on speed limits and Euro in the till :)

    Even in Europe I'd have questions about it during heavy rain.

    I'm not quite sure WHERE you can get Astra 2D and 1D on a 45CM dish at the same time. I'd take a guess of "nowhere".

    In the south-east, in good weather, that dish will do for 13, 19 and 28; but forget 23

    Casablanca is moving to 23E which they argue is "better". Only if you don't use same LNB/PC card for 19E TV at same time. So the end of Casablanca (SatAtOnce) for most users.
