Hi just general advice about Satellite dishes.

What size would I require to pick up Freesat/Sky?

I have been told the 120cm works but can be weather dependent and 135cm is far superior. Any comments would be appreciated.

Plus any trusted installer in the area would be a bonus.

Either a 110x120cm or 125x135cm would work in that area.

But any dish will be affected by heavy rain, even the large 2.4m dish can have issues in heavy rain.

We got Mike at Satmart Installations ( www.satellitetvtorrevieja.com ) to install a 1.4 metre dish. We now have Freesat, all U.K. channels but no premium sports channels, but at least we now have TV we can view and the plus side is I have to go to the pub to watch the football. Not sure if he covers your area but contact him for a free price quotation and what you get for your money. As others have said the picture reception will be affected when there is heavy rain but otherwise is has been perfect.

People need to be very careful about IPTV, it is not all it is cracked up to be or what an installer might claim. You need a strong and stable internet connection otherwise your TV picture will freeze and you will loose channels at times. Initially we were taken in, got no refund from our installer and had to look around for other options and turned to Mike who we would now recommend.
