13E or 19E maybe. Not much use for 28.2E

35cm is really too small. Even for 13E you want maybe 43cm.

Better to get a bigger dish

i really wouldnt bother. Get a decent fta receiver and if size is important a 45 cm dish (Should be ok in decent weather for 28 east in holland), but a 55-60cm would be adaquate in most types of weather for all the main satellites (13, 19, 28 east)

im moving to Amsterdam

(Green with envy)

If you forget Lidl, wait until youre in Amsterdam and go to Media Markt (sp?) they should have hundreds of dishes -all shapes and sizes (at least the Berlin one does so I presume Amsterdam is the same)

I really wish we had places like that here

People here have mostly (75%?) got Sky or UPC, so no market

Only because people here are not educated or aware of whats out there FTA etc. 75% of people think the only way to get certain UK channels & Irish channels in digital is by paying sky/UPC for a package!!

Thats why the future of payDTT or even FTA DTT is doomed here. Its far to late to be launched now that everyone is paying sky 21€ a month for RTE in digital!

Im in Kildare and could pick up pretty much all 28.2 with that setup. 19.2 is also reasonable but forget about hotbird 13.0e

Surely a bit of an exxaguration. Lots of people have niether $ky or UPC they either have analouge only or have freesat/freeview for UK channels and watch RTE in analouge (complete with half@r$€d letterboxing that doesnt look right in either 4:3 and 16:9)
