    C band is almost non existent in Europe as we use KU or even Ka.

    1.5m mesh is about the minimum size for dish.
    I doubt they are any fixed channels in the C band, so you will be feed hunting, which is basically all the dish heads in america do with the BUD equipment.

    Thanks for the replies all, Much appreciated. I'm sort of new to the satellite scene and I was trying to get access to other satellites i.e. astra 19.2 E and hot bird 13.0 E. As I have a mini dish Permantly wall mounted I was told that That was the only Satellite I could watch without 'messing' about with the dish.
    The reason I asked about C band was that I heard you could track Various Different satellites.
    Any recommendations?
    :confused:

    Astra and Hotbird are mostly KU band but the newer hotbird sat has Ka transponders.

    tracking satellites...dunno..maybe your referring to a motorised setup.
