    here is a question about LNB placement. If you are using a universal LNB on a reflector dish like the WIld Blue. Is there an issue with getting too much of a signal??? On this dish you can place the LNB anywhere on a rail from 3 inches to 12 inches away from the reflector. Do I just use the TV...
