Hi All,
Been looking at the previous posts about Astra2D and the south of france. I'm looking to do the same and get freeview in the South of France but I am having difficulty in understanding what sort of dish I can use.

I see that there are oval and circular dishes made of mesh, solid and fiberglass. I need to get the right sort of dish for all year round reception so I get minimum rain fade. But on the other hand I need to keep the dish size as small as possible.

Is it right that a 70cm oval mesh dish will give the same performance as an 80cm circular and a 70cm oval fiberglass dish will give the same performance as 90cm circular.

Sorry for my ignorance but I would like to get it right first time. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Marc.
