Should be ok as they are 60cm I believe.

size dish

i would say 80cm. for the best result

Would a free sat dish work with a blade box or DM?

[Manic01]

For what sat?, doesnt pay to hijack threads as dont know what you are after?

60cm plenty foe 13e in his location.

If you mean for 28.2e only then any receiver will work with that dish.

was thinking more of the small s*y dishs if they would work ?

[Manic01]

Sorry thought you meant zone 2 never looked at post hard enough.
Would struggle especially in bad weather.

i would always use a 75-80cm dish for hotbird myself but i agree with @manic01 that a correctly aligned 60/65cm dish with a quality lnb would suffice. regards mdt
