Italian tv (hotbird 13 east) with 57cm dish?

rotronnie · 2008-03-28 10:53:02

Hi, I live in Ennis, co Clare would it be possible to receive italian tv from hotbird and spanish from hispasat 30w using this dish http://www.lidl.ie/ie/home.nsf/pages/c.o.20080403.p.DigitalSatSystem i reckon an 80cm dish would be better, but maybe somebody already experienced successfully a dish of a similar size. Thanks…

Footprints suggest it should be fine, but since it will depend on installation/weather, a bigger dish will give better margin of error (esp. for 30W).

It's too small.
I'm not far from Ennis. You need 80cm for both those satellites here.

Maplin in Limerick has 80cm. Postage on dishes is not so good. The Dish needed in Italy is smaller like 45cm in north and 60cm in south, I think.
