Sat dish 1.5 or 1.9

Post by LICY »

I would like to know if anyone has heard about the signal being downgraded for freest in 2012 when their contract expires. I need to decide if we upgrade to the bigger dish. I know there are a number of you currently having problems with reception for dishes that are about 1.2. Thanks. LICY :roll: :?:

This has been reported a few times and the best advice is to go for the biggest dish you can.

I hope so, but it's hard knowing to get there in the end you need to work that bit longer, unless you have your own business and can do it from here online. Bliss I reckon! LICY :roll:

We have very few problems with a 1.5 m dish - when its stormy, everyone does. Theoretically a 1.3 m is fine for freesat and Sky, but as they say you cant beat the biggest you can get.
