[rodder]

Will A 6 Ft Dish Be Good Enought In The North Ga Area.mainly Want To Get Sports Channels.

 

[Mr Tony]

free or subscription?

free...it gets about 95-97% of the stuff up there
subscription...go bigger

 

[rodder]

Yes Just The Free Stuff. 97% Sound Real Good.

 

[Mr Tony]

there has been only a few channels I cant get FTA and that may be due to satellite footprint and my northern (Minnesota) location

Thanks Iceberg.I am Thinking About The 6 Ft Package from Sadoun.

I have a 6ft dish, just be aware that the feeds on G28 are mostly not going to come in. That is the main reason I might be switching to an 8 ft dish. With the 8ft I believe the number will go to 100% for feeds. You wont have the adjacent satellite interference.

I don't believe so. My well-aimed 7.5 footer has problems, so I went to my fixed 9 footer as the next try and aimed it very well to solve them to watch G28 stuff.

10 foot dish gives you 2 deg spacing compliance on c-band, anything smaller keeps you in the game for potential co-sat interference.

I would not go under a 10' personally, though if you really want to get something up at least go with the Geosat 2.4 meter, depending on how hardcore you get in the game I have issues with some rare feeds on my 10' so bigger is always better, would be nice if Geosat and others brought out a 3.0 meter lower cost reflector.
