Anyone Else Thinking Like Me???
I have a sneaking feeling that good ole Charlie and Bev are trying their best to discourage sales of FTA stbs for Christmas. I think thats what all of these ECMS are about here lately. Hopefully if this is the case after Christmas things will calm down. Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

Re: Anyone Else Thinking Like Me???
For true FTA apps, the dish should be at least 30"+
Hope that helps

Re: Anyone Else Thinking Like Me???
ok see the chart on the right here:
Galaxy 10R at 123.0°W - LyngSat Maps
with that of 49 dbw it says you need a dish size of: 50-70 cm
since its known as not being a very strong bird for signal,go with the 70cm (at least)
so you go here to convert to inches:
inches to cm, cm to inches calculator
says you need 27.6
so i wouldn't go with anything less than 30"
check out fta pros below they have a 30" dish and lnb that should give pretty good quality readings.for under 90 bucks with free shipping.

Re: Anyone Else Thinking Like Me???
looks good to me if you can get all of that and you do not need a fix thats the way to go for a back up .l am going to set a 39" dish for this and this will be my back up insted of paying for cable or a satellite company.
