          Hi. Dish size is like having a bank account..the bigger the better. .... As already pointed out it depends on what youre after and will it be motorized etc etc

          Regards.

                  80cm minimum but if you want to play safe with rain margin a TD88

                        It would make them lose signal if the wind is strong enough, As for the Scrambling part well that could be something entirely different. get your Dish checked out first and even your box

                          Depending on your receiver, when signal is lost , it CAN/MAY say 'Scrambled channel'. I know this from my own experiences... Best bet is to goto the settings and get a signal reading when there is bad whether. If there is a 'BER' bar or figure, that should be as close to 0 as possible..
                          Another way you could check is to find a FTA channel on the same transponder and see whether there is a picture and if there is, look out for pixelations...

                            No signal is dish, cable , LNB etc, scrambled means you are for what ever reason not receiving a signal from your CS host. This could be your ISP or a crappy server
