Curious what dish size gets decent signal on 101? 6ft fails miserably from Southern Ontario.
Too far north for a 6 footer on most satellites. I used a 6 footer on C-Band back in the 80's here in West Virginia, and it did surprisingly well considering the fact that the satellites in those days were much weaker than they are now. I got a call from an old friend the other day who purchased a 16 foot Paraclipse back in the 80's. He's wanting rid of it and he says it's still in excellent condition. I have no use for something that big. It's heavy enough to require 2 motor arms, one pulling, one pushing to move it.
I just picked up 2 ten foot dishes this past week, and I have a 3rd one to go look at. I'm hoping the 3rd one is the same brand of dish as the one I got yesterday so I can switch out a quarter section to replace a damaged section in the one I just got. The guys who helped load it got in a hurry and pulled 2 panels of screen out of the track at the bottom of the dish that had weeds growing through the screen. It would have been perfect if that hadn't happened.
