Hi Micky, welcome to the forum :welc1:

I like the smaller Triax dishes for travelling, because the LNB arm folds flat for transportation without any dismantling. The TD78 (80cm diameter) and TD 88 (90cm diameter) both have this feature.

If space is at a premium in your van, then you might opt for the TD78. For all-weather reception guaranteed you might opt for the larger one. Either should be fine really, if well aligned.

Any decent 'universal' LNB will also be fine. MTI Blue line, Invacom, Inverto, Humax, Triax, Sharp, Syntec or try one of the cheaper ones.

Hope this helps

No problem, I'd be pleased to know what you think if you buy one. I'd like to understand the requirements likes/needs etc. of the mobile user better, so we can help out more.
