Re: Hotbird 13 degrees - Technomate - Sky HD box
 

A bigger dish will always improve your reception. I can't really comment on sats other than those used by regular UK broadcasters in the Sky and Freesat EPGs though, as that's all I use mine for. For these sats, the dish normally supplied by Sky in Scotland should always be fine, provided it has been properly fitted and aligned.

Need some more advice...
My dish is aligned to 13 degrees east and yet I get signal from arabsat @ 28 degrees, Eutelsat at 9 degrees, and eutelsat @ 33 degrees. I only have 1 lnb.. strength is at 98/100 per cent in all cases and between 65 and 67 signal quality in all cases.. Is there a problem with my set up?

If you're getting what you want, there's nothing wrong with your set up. ;). Anything extra is a bonus. The other sats you're seeing might just have very large footprints. Again, Kymmy's our resident expert on non-UK sats, she might have an accurate answer for you.
