    I just found myself in possesion of a 1.2m dish and I am hoping to get it up soon. However, I am wondering what peoples opinions are on where to point it. I wouldn't mind sport/movies but with the amount of options there I am not sure which to go for. Any opinions?

    For programs in English you only need a 55cm dish @ 28.2. Over 45 decent TV and over 20 decent radio out of over 200 free TV and over 70 free Radio.

    Add a 36V motor system (a cheap 100 Euro Diseqc motor is too light for a 1.2m dish) and you can get about 2,500 free TV channels and over 2000 free radio including news & sports feeds on about 22 satellites. Most not in English.

    (Art football is subscription and varies by season).
