Sky 60cm Dish

I have currently got a 43cm Sky dish on the back of the house. Sky have decided that they need to come back out on Monday with it booked as a special heights job and move my dish onto the chimney at no cost to myself. They are talking about putting a 60cm dish up there with a octo-LNB. Does the octo-lower the signal a lot compared to a quad lnb like with CATV? Will a 60cm dish give much extra signal compared with 43cm?

The 60cm dish will definitely improve the recieved signal strength. The LNB contains amplifiers which should mean that the fact its supplying eight feeds makes no difference.
As you move north up the UK you require a larger and larger dish as the signal strength diminishes.

I live in Liverpool so its not that high up the UK but I suppose I could live in an area with slightly poor reception.
