One thing though that would worry me is the footprint of the sat at 38E. If the footprint is concentrating on SE europe then you might need a very large dish to get even a reasonable signal here in the UK. Will see if I can find the footprint for the sat in question

Looking at the sat maps you should be fine with a 60cm dish

The sat in question is HellasSat2 at 39E, looking at the listing though half of the channels are encrypted

Thanks for that, like I said true novice here so any and all info is greatly appreciated. (Including translating lingo, such as footprint?). By saying most of the channels are encrypted, does that mean I won't be able to see them?
Thought it best to get a motor so that we can manipulate the dish from inside, now wondering if it's worth it? I presume the LNB is the item that faces the dish? Looks like a microphone? LOL, I did say you are dealing with a total novice.. Although my husband is better at things like calculations and degrees etc., but both of us don't know anything about sats and signals.
