An 80cm is plenty big enough for Hotbird and Astra1(19.2E).

It should be OK for 1W as well depending on your location.

This of course depends on your dish tracking the arc properly.

Also depends on the quality of the 80cm dish, some do have problems with 16E. It's usually quite simple to do a head-swap for a decent 90cm - 110cm dish if necessary
