Hello london-guy

You should know more about this than us by now!

What about the Hirschmann FESAT 150?

The smaller Hirschmann dishes are superbly made and perform very well, so the 1.5m should be interesting.

i think your have the same problems with a 1.5 dish on size if you have bad neighbours.im not a evil man lol,just try 2 give you facts on what your see.iv a feeling if you got a 1.5 you would not be happy with what you see.hence we are back 2 the 1.8 dish

You could try:

Falcon International Satellite
21, Hester Road
Edmonton
Silver Street
London
N18 2RF
United Kingdom

Telephone: 07731 80 30 30
International: +44 7731 80 30 30
Email: sales'at'falconsat.co.uk

You would have to ask them about LNB/feedhorn options.

I'm with Sid though. I go back to what I said in my first post of your first thread on the subject. A 1.8m dish will get you something to watch, but a 2.4m dish is required to do it properly. I have no problem in suggesting good 1.5m dishes, but as Sid says, I think you'll be disappointed.

Just wanted to repeat that one last time, as I'd hate for you to blame us for letting you buy a one-and-a-half metre bird-bath

I understand you can't fit a huge dish, but there just isn't any escaping the laws of physics here.
