    Hi guys,

    I am looking to install a motorised dish for my second receiver. As I have a large-ish dish already, I want something as small as possible, to avoid getting an earfull from the wife! I can get a 78cm Triax thats not being used off a friend, but my question is: Would a 78cm be sufficient? I am looking to receive satellites between 39E and 30W (39E, 28.2, 23.5, 19.2. 15.8, 13, 9, 7, 4.8E, 0.8W, 5W and 30W).

    Thank you in advance

    Not a hope a 78cm will get all the sats you mentioned.

    A 1m could be required for that lot.
