    put your location into dish pointer and check it yourself, bearing in mind you dont want any obstructions in the way like trees or buildings
    I would also say 60cm is too small as you really need 80cm or bigger for a motorised dish

      Was originally thinking of 80 cm think that do me best there is quite a big tree in my line of site so think 80 cm would be better option or would I need bigger due to this tree

        No size of dish can combat a Tree in its line of sight you may have no problems in the autumn and Winter months but as soon as spring/summer your back to square one, your main aim here is to find another position on your property that has no LOS problems for a dish install

          I pick up 13e, 23.5e, 30w, 28.2e, 39e and 19.2e with ease. I also pick up 16e but can be a bit shitty and some 7e but very little, all with 60cm dish in the North West. Didnt want a huge dish on the front of my house and find my set up more than good enough for what i want.

            I set up with an 80cm motorised. (In the Northwest as well). Get good signals off all the main sats. When it was on the ground the dish did look huge....but up in the air on the wall doesn't look that bad! No complaints from the neighbours! Thinking of upgrading soon to a 90cm...would make a lot of difference to the 'fringe' signals. I do have the advantage of a clear south facing view with no obstructions.

                  I would not go smaller than an 80cm dish for the motor.I"m near the Humber and get all the main sats from 39E to 30W on an 85cm dish no problem (except 7W)

                    cheap tat m8 as you get what you pay for although it will do a job on the strong birds@ 28.2/23.5/19.2/13/9/1/5/8/30... if you want to stick to a small dish then a triax td78cm,tm2600 motor,inverto black ulta lnb and L wall mount (T+K with small length of pole would be better but L bracket is fine for south facing wall with small dish) should cost around ?100 with 20mtrs of rg6,bolts,plugs and clips if you shop around. regards mdt

                      ?88 of the bay but you dont get the Black ultra which is no big deal really for the sats your going to pick up with it.

                          at this moment you do!! its up to you m8 but our advise is spend an extra ?40 and get a td78,tm2600 and black ultra lnb as they are good quality and will last years if set up correctly and looked after,regards mdt

                            You will eventually lose 28.2 matey, unless you will be using it for FTA channels only or looping it through to a original paired sly box.. So may as well get a 60cm dish with a twin LNB on it.
