I am using a 3mt comparable dish in Perth and am fourtunate to have a clear view to the east down to 180e so I get most of the chs on i19 @166e, yes I think anything under 3mt and you will have issues on certain transponders.
Over the years I've used heaps of different LNBF and LNB combos and probebly the best I have is still a 15yrar old Cal Amp LNBF I got from Sciteq. The zinwell were crap, the Strongs were not much better and a lot coming out of China a clones of the Strong. these days it's like lotto you might score a winner with some obscure brand. Most C band sat services are so strong these days and technology has not really moved along . A manufactured picks out noise figures in a perfect world not in a real world setup. So again don't always look at that when buying a LNBF.
