    Dish Network in Costa Rica

    ADVERTS 1
    I was just looking at TV options in this counrty and found that you need an 8 foot dish to receive DN. I guess someone wasn't kidding when they told me that a C band dish needs to be 32 feet in size in Costa Rica.

    mainly due to the footprint and the location....thats why they need big C-Band dishes for DIsh
    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

    Well, if I do retire to Costa Rica (my wife is from there) I guess I'll have to get cable. I doubt that I'll put up a C-band dish. Of course, I suppose I could put up a 12 foot dish for Ku (but I wonder if there'll be enough english language programs on Ku). Decisions, decisions.

    Hmm, I wonder how much it would cost to ship a dish to CR if I can't get one locally.......
