80 cm , but that would be fine weather only, you would get signal dropout at the merest hint of rain. If you are wanting mbc then something around 1m, maybe a bit bigger

ive sold the 90cm, having big probs getting 26e on the 110cm on the motor, got away with it on the motor with the 90cm, but dont really want a 60cm/sky, 110cm motorised on the wall, and a 90cm, was hoping to go 80cm mesh hidden in the corner for 26e

Give it a go - you have nothing to lose apart from an hour of your time. Remember Im a lot further north than you, although the signal strength doesnt vary much over the uk.

would it be worth, using the 110cm fixed for 26e, an 80cm on the motor, i manly use the motor for 16e,28.2,13e,19e, and playing to see what i can get from other sats, or do you think i would kick myself after doing this, due to the smaller dish on the motor? itd Robbos fault! i miss my mbc

What's my fault?

I'm in the same Dilemma, do I keep my 110cm motorised and the 90cm fixed for 26E or vice versa?. The thing is last night on my 90cm Fortec star I was getting a whopping signal quality on MBC 26E, like 70% ( I need 66%). The trouble is it is just fixed to a wobbly wooden pole that isn't fixed down.
