Bill,
The 18x20 dish in the first set of pictures you'll see that I had gotten around 37 SQ for ONN. With the 500Dish I got about the same. I always had luck with the small dish, at ontime it was fixed on 123W and I would watch the Equity TV Stations. I must admit that it take a lot of fine tunning to bring in any sat. The big factor is to get the elvation correct. As close to what dishpointer.com says and tweak from there.


Good Luck with your 18" dish

I've experimented with a Dish 500 (20") on the 74w and get a solid signal just fine but I could not lock on the 72w to save my life, the signal is just too low here in SoCal. I get the NBC mux on 72w with a 36" motorized dish perfectly.
