    Hi
    is anyone of you using the 60cm SKY dish for other satellite - 19.2 or 13E?

    i just want to get rid of 28.2 angle and try other channels on 19deg and 13deg

    any one suggest...

    The Sky dish will pick up those two alright, though you may experience breakup during heavy rain.

    Though not maybe all the channels.

    The smaller zone1 Sky dish used in England would be very poor here.

    In South east is much better than West for these.

    i am based in maynooth - not sure how strong it is on these dishes
    is it easy to move the directions of the dish?
    will try to google it out later

    I use one very successfully.. I move it around to point to different satellites I used the dish initially to replace a lidl camping dish I had. I needed something that wouldn't blow down twice a day..... I changed the LNB for a universal one and got a freeview sat box.. hey presto..

    :confused:Universal is what they come with.
    Perhaps you meant quad.

    No real problem using two 60cm sky dishes for Astra 1 and Hotbird in Dublin. Might be a few channels that are a bit dodgy in the rain, but it's just the "dodgy" ones so I think I'll cope.
