Have Sky HD in living room and Sky+ in my bedroom, live in central Scotland.

Need to buy/fit a new dish as the one I have is rusty and not securing properly.

Have looked on a few websites, 60cm sky oval mini dish with quad lnb range from £20 on EBay to £60 on a couple of websites, anybody know if there's much difference in quality and any you would recommend? 

A website also recommends going for a full size 60cm dish rather than the sky oval type, any help much appreciated.

If you go for a zone 2 (60cm) 'Sky Mini Dish' then there wont be any difference between them (other than price).

If you want a decent round(ish) dish then i'd recommend something like a Triax TD64. 

Astra 2 A, B, D, Astra 1N and EB1 are powerful birds and easily receivable in the UK, so won't make much difference whether you go for an eliptical or round dish tbh.
