    This one has a smaller dish (45cm when B&Q one is 65cm)

    its an old saying, 'what you lose you on the swings you gain on the roundabouts and vice versa'.
    Basically for €20 less you have a cheaper system but for €20 extra you gain 20cm extra of dish.

    That suggests to people that if they purchase it, it will not work. Untrue.


    I have been using a smaller dish than that (37cm) with no problems in Dublin.

    (Though satellite experts on here have warned that small dishes are more susceptible to a reduction of signal in rain etc - so a bigger dish is a safer bet)

    I'd suggest the bigger dish as it is usually better. Incidentally I have been using a Lidl dish for a couple of years and had to superglue it with a wedge (a cut down biro), as any strong wind will knock it off alignment.
