    I agree....a 90cm will work better than a 76cm dish. I can get all the channels on both dishes but the 90cm gives a little better signal readings

    If you want to use more than one receiver, you most definitelly want a dual LNB
    Winegard 76cm dish, SG2100 motor, Sadoun dual KU LNB..... Directv Slimline SWM 3 LNB.... GeoSatPro 36" dish with Sadoun dual KU LNB... Coolsat 5000 on motorized.... Manhattan RS1933....Directv HR34 (yes the 5 tuner monster) GeoSatPro 200 to aim dishes.... few receivers not set up yet
    Two 6 foot Fortec dish with GeoSatPro dual C-Band LNB "ghetto moved" to various C-Band satellites

    Superdish FSS LNBs are actually Eagle Aspen P870 stacked Ku-Band LNBs, and are VERY useful. Just remember that these LNBs stack the horizontal transponders above the vertical ones, so the horizontal TP frequencies will be off. A blind scanning receiver will find them with no trouble, however.
    Current systems: 2X Visionsat IV-200 PVRs; Pansat 2700; Digitrans DTE-7150 DVB/Digicipher II; Twinhan and Nexus-S PC DVB cards; SiliconDust HDHomeRun ATSC/QAM networked tuners; fixed 1 meter Channel Master dish with Eagle Aspen P870 FSS Ku-Band stacked LNB; 2X 3ABN 36" dishes with Invacom QPH-031 Ku/DBS-Band LNBFs on Moteck SG-2100 H-H motors; fixed Sadoun SD180G 1.8 meter dish with Eagle Aspen B1SAT STACK C-Band stacked LNBF; Winegard Square Shooter OTA DTV antenna

    Search this site for Superdish.

    There was a guy here that set up a Superdish to receive PBS at 125W and WhiteSprings Classic Movies on 127W

    Superdishes & Directway dishes will work fine for FTA. Tron noted the bandstacked issue with the LNB's on SD105's
