Why were C-band dishes so huge?! I'd love to know the answer to this one. Thanks in advance!

This dish seems like it's not pointed at the southern sky.... It's pointed south but the sky? Doesn't look like it. Anyone have any info on this? From what I understand, the house is using this dish.

Thanks, everyone for the replies! Definitely clearing it up. Interesting stuff, at least for me!

So why does my dish look at 61.5 and 72.7 and my next door neighbor looks at 61.5, 72.7, AND 77? That's what's confusing! Does it have anything to do with the age of the dish or the number of channels they subscribe to?

Yep it said 72. I tried about 5 random channel numbers and they all came back with 72. Cool! :)

Hello everyone, I am new to this page and to the world of satellite communications, as well. I switched from Mediacom cable to Dish Network in February and I love it! I have been paying attention to the various satellite dishes on houses and have noticed differences between them that confuse me...
