Thread: I Went On a Shopping Spree.. Woohoo

so how long until you upgrade to the 4' or 6' dish?

The unfortunate thing is, I can't install anything bigger then a 39" dish as I live in a townhome complex.. I have no room for a c/ku band setup.. My Wife and I are looking into buying a house in the new year though

Yeah you dont wanna push it.....also your location doesnt help either (SW Ontario)

Here in the states you can have a 1m dish and are protected from Associations and their rules. Canada doesnt have that "luxury" for consumers.

But once you get the house, you'll want a 6 or 8 footer

You are not gonna care how nice the kitchen is in your new house, what you are really looking for is a clear southerly LOS.

what you are really looking for is a clear southerly LOS.

That's the plan... Just not going to let the wife know that.. lol

BTW.. In the City of London (Where I live) there are certain areas of the city where C-band dishes are allowed.. Mostly older parts of the city

Hi Chief,

I checked with the City of London earlier in the year. (I still have the email from the City of London Zoning person if you'd like to see it) They have no restrictions against antennas, which to me also means that dishes are OK. I put up my big dish in my back yard a couple years ago. None of the neighbours have complained, and I'm in a fairly new sub-division (about 10 to 12 years old).

Interesting... I was told different by the city. Mind you, it was a couple yeas ago when I requested info.. I guess the zoning rules have changed..

Thanks for the info Davage

good to know that some cities still cater to the population when it comes to Dishes

Hey Chief,

Have you got the dish up and running yet? The weather has been FANTASTIC lately for the install. I was just outside during lunch today. Perfect satellite dish installing weather.
