here I checked for you and I can give you by screens about, and I advise you to get dish biger tha 1.3 in my screenshot, becasue when wheather gone bad, than your signals would be ok...I recomend bigger than 1.5...

Had 1m gibertini and it's ok for 10e la liga feeds. Some 7e transponders on Vertical position were also ok while i couldn't get a lock on most Horizontal ones.
It'll depend on the weather aswell. On my current 1.2 laminas i can get some feeds under light rain while with 1m it was already a lost cause.

The Ideal Dish Size for Feeds on 7E and 10E is 1.6 meters 24" Arm and V-box
A really good dish is Channel Master 1.8m dish
my 2 meter Prime focus dish gets all Feeds only snow sitting on the dish can affect signal
but always with a brush its easily sorted majority of all feeds are above 10db mostly 11.4db or higher
so never see any Pixelation .
For 10E La Liga feeds is always 13db so smaller dish always gets those feeds easily unless rain is a factor .
The bigger dish the better for Feeds always .

Keep in mind that each feed is different than any other. Today a feed is strong and 1m or 1.25m dish is enough, tomorrow the same feed is weaker and you need 1.5m, then it begins to rain and you need 1.8.....
So, if you want to get all feeds with such rain margin I suggest a good 1.8m dish, maybe 1.5 but no less.

Waste of time, forget it.

You will get some feeds then realise you are missing others and will need a larger dish.
The minimum size I would recommend is 1.5m, larger is better.
