    How Big of a Dish Need to pick up all FTA on Ku-Band

    Greetings! I have a 6ft satellite dish with a dual band LNB and I can't figure out why I still can't get all FTA on Ku-Band. I receive most frequencies (some very strong) but some come in very weak. Having a 6ft dish you would think thats big enough for all of Ku reception. Am I wrong? What...

    Dish Alignment

    Hello Friends! I'm in the process of re-aligning my dish and need assistance with determining a strong transponder on a particular satellite. My highest elevated satellite on the arc is Brasilsat B3, which is at 75°W. According to Lyngsat, not all transponders have a beam to my location (I'm...

    Greetings! I'm in need of assistance with trying to tie in 61.5 with my current Dish 500 Plus setup that currently receives 110/118/119 with a DP34 switch.
