Offset Satellite Dishes on the Costa Blanca in Spain

There are two types of satellite dishes used for the reception of UK TV in Spain: Prime Focus satellite dishes and Offset Satellite Dishes.

Offset Satellite Dishes can be identified by the fact that the LNB is offset to the face of the satellite dish. Since February 2012, these offset satellite dishes are now mainly used in the Valencia and Costa Blanca area for the reception of UK TV channels from BBC ITV and C4

Satellite Dish Size Confusion

There are two ways to actually measure a satellite dish.

The first way is to measure the horizontal length of the actual reflector part of the satellite dish. This is how a satellite dish is measured in most of the world.

The second way is to measure the vertical length of the reflector and include the outer rim of the satellite dish. This is how a satellite dish is measured in Spain.

This is how a satellite dish with a reflector measurement of 125 x 135cm, can also be known as a 1.4m satellite dish in Spain. And how a satellite dish measuring 180 x 180cm can be known s a 1.9m satellite dish in Spain!
