Anyone Else Thinking Like Me???

[mvc003]

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?

hey arbor, how can i tell what size dish i need to receive that bird bro ?...on lyngsat it doesn't give dish size in canada.

[arboristman]

are you in the footprint?

[creativegenius]

For true FTA apps, the dish should be at least 30"+

Hope that helps

I think its in the yellow zone. after zooming in on the picture.

[arboristman]

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.

is he even in the footprint?
or the outer blue part?

[SoDarkTheCon]

thanks for the help again Arbor...i'll give it a shot. dishes i can pick up for dirt cheap. I think your buddy up north needs a bigger dish Coors.

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.

its perfect for you guys in the states, you get a few national news channels. plus depending on where you live you also get local.
