I can catch 91-129 on an eliptical 24 incher.However the 129 signal is very weak.The 91,110,119 is good enough but in the worst of downpours.I have seen six lnbs on a modded primestar , or channel master dish.I believe it was 82,91,101,110 ,118.8-119, and 129.That is almost 50 degrees of arc.I am not sure of the quality level they get.You can see my setup in the photo gallery on the forum.There are also lots of other good pics about dishes.Of course the t-90 can get alot more and at a better quality than the above.The t-90 is a toroidal and can handle eight lnbs.Here is a picture of it also search toroidal on the forum as arboristman posted some good pics showing some setups.
