4K on 103W with an 8 foot dish?

[Al K]

I doubt that an 8 foot dish will work for the 4K transponder on 103W, but I wonder if any of you have tried it.

My 6 footer will get the NASA 4K channel on 127W, it won't handle the higher FEC on 103W.

I have gotten in on my 8 footer without problem before. I would try it now but my LNB is messed up and too much snow to put up a ladder to go try fixing it.

Thanks Scott. Here in sunny Arizona I'm in shorts and a tee shirt. I guess it's fine with me if you huddle indoors.

I get it fine on a 8.5 footer with a Titanium LNBF. For me it is one of the stronger signals on 103w.

I just checked and it's coming in fine here on my 8ft. dish.
