[QUOTE="ouagadougou, post: 175739, member: 187470"] You arent gauranteed to get everything outside the normal footprint even with that size of dish and that reflector is not very accurate at ku-band either. You still need enough gain to recover the signal no matter how weak it is so you might find that a dish designed for ku-band that is only half the diameter of that one has just as much gain. Interference would also be a big problem with that dish when looking for the weaker sats because although your sidelobes are way down in level compared to the main beam they still have quite a lot of gain themselves so you would still pick up reasonable signal level off the main beam for some of the stronger sats like Hotbird. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
