[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 122483, member: 176256"] I understand what you're saying, especially on the fringes of the normal reception areas, but as you go larger in dish size the beamwidth becomes less. IIRC a 60cm dish has a beamwidth of about 3 degrees, which would take up any normal satellite wobble. As you go larger and larger (outside the normal reception area) the beamwidth narrows, which makes it more difficult to align in the first place and also makes it more susceptible to the wobble that you're talking about.
