john213 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Just about hanging in the Haute Pyrenees with a 120cm dish. I measured it tonight, it is 120cm tall but only, 110cm wide. Would it help if I turned it round, changed the bracket so it was 120cm across ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBC65 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 HelloWe are also in the Hautes Pyréneés, but have an 80cm dish. No BBC channels, ITV1, 2, 3 & 4 are OK, C4 is struggling, but C4+1 is fine (odd?). How is your reception today? We would appreciate your feedback before we go out and buy a new (larger) dish.Thanks.CBC65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john213 Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 We are watching bbc1 at the moment, 110 cm dish. No bbc2 or radio2. Would say a 130cm should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBC65 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Hello again, john213. As per OPs on the other thread, we no longer have ITV, Channel 4 or E4. Is this the same for you today?I am still contemplating investing in a larger dish, but am reluctant to do so if there is no hope of receiving a signal in this lovely part of the country.With thanks in anticipation.CBC65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john213 Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 We have all channels with a 1.2 metre dish, including hd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
