[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 1110, member: 175057"] You have the basics correct Bill, it can still be advantageous to use an over spec' dish to eliminate signal drop out in bad weather though. There are some dishes that perform better than others, therefor enabling the use of a smaller than recommended dish where environmental impact is critical. I would still recommend that you go for the best quality dish that you can afford, also the best LNB with the lowest noise figure. As you say there are some satellites that require larger dishes for adequate reception, some because the transmission power is low and others because of the limitations of their footprint. If you are setting up for multisat reception, the dish will need to be of sufficient size and quality to pull in the weakest satellite. Rolf [/QUOTE]
