It depends what satellites you want to receive, you won't be able to get all of them.

80cm to 1m is what most people go for.

as many as poss but im assuming 60 cm is not good.

HI mate, I would reckon that for most satellites a 1Mrt dish would suffice. There are not that many satellites beyond 30W that have much on them, not for me anyway. Good luck with your project and keep us informed.

Very best regards Wez

You just scroll down a bit and click on manage attachments. I think you have to click on Advanced when you reply to post.
