Slimline dish for FTA
I've got one of those laying around, thinking it's a bit small. Think my 30 inch CM would outperform it. Might be OK for a strong channel though. But here's a success story http://www.satelliteguys.us/free-air...a-success.html Some more I've come up with are http://www.satelliteguys.us/free-air...-question.html and http://www.satelliteguys.us/free-air...dish-help.htmlHope these help -

Smaller dishes require a strong transponder signal. Be better off using a larger dish if you can to allow for rain fade and signal strength variation.
