    OTHER Do I need a bigger dish?

    So I cheated the scanner: This was Maverick. SatLink readings are good. To see how it compares with MSI I'll wait for a bad weather. Thank you all for valuable input. Michael

    OTHER Do I need a bigger dish?

    Actually it works with first software. Second software is tricky. For some satellites it requires all three values, LO1 LO2 and SW, filled in with non zero, for other it accepts zeros. Today I cannot play with it because I had to dismantle the dish, it was on a deck table. Will try tomorrow again.

    Winegard arrived. It is actually 76v83, elongated vertically. I was able to put it on a tripod from my folded dish. The LBN I complained before, WSI ESX521U-FE, gave me good, solid reception. I have multiple NBC channels, just watched golf Open. I hope the goal to watch Olympics on campground...

    Big thank you. I checked my folded dish with rulers and caliper and top 2/3 surface looks good but the rest no so good. It is riveted so corrections will take time. Waiting for Winegard. Thanking for LNB advices I ordered Maverick MK1-PLL and Geosat SL1PLL. I'll post results. Michael

    OTHER Do I need a bigger dish?

    Thank you for responses. I based the size of the dish I selected on a table at LyngSat maps. For camping on a remote boat accessible site I went with the smallest possible size. I did not know that new broadcast techniques requires larger dishes. But still being limited by my canoe I ordered...
