If you want the digitalb package you need a 1m.. The transponders they use are weak

80cms isn't big enough for 16e

@ Dank

You have started on the good side of 15threads in the satellite section since you invested in this setup.

This number is far too high, you havent been reading enough before and after the purchase of your setup. Some of the threads you also make should have been added to an existing thread of yours, i,e : "freq 16e" and "eutelsat16 east".

Im not having a rant towards you, i just want you to know that if you put your questions in a lower amount of threads then those who want to help will get a little more background info and therefore can help you to a higher degree.

Heavy cloud cover (snow) can have adverse affect, same with heavy rain. SO with 80cm dish, you will struggle.

Anyone reading this thinking of setting up, go for 1m, you can have this without permission.

ideally you should have gone for a slightly bigger dish,,but still to lose signal completely at night,,says to me its a poor install,and u need to get him back..where you are you should only suffer a bit of pixellation in bad weather on the weaker digitalb transponders...also ive tried different lnb,s on this bird and the best for me has been the ice 1.2 db lnb...
i,m in north notts and even in severe weather have no problems at all off 16e on a very slightly bigger 90cm dish
