Re: satellite dish

Unless Stockport has changed location recently, a Sky-type mini-dish will do - there's no different requirement for HD than for SD.

Re: satellite dish

A zone 2 dish will always give a better "rain fade" margin.

Sorry, I now realise that my previous post was misleading. I didn't know that Sky minidishes came in several sizes, and were not as mini in the North as in the South, being nearer 60cm up there, compared to about 45cm down here!
