Sorry if I'm getting impatient to move into the house this C Band dish is at, I just grabbed a Street View of the Dish and part of the house "for security I don't want to show the entire house" do you think it's a 10' or larger? The dish is about 1/2 ac in from the road, the lot is 2 ac square. Sorry again I'm really getting excited to get free C band. It's located about 50 miles north of Tennessee so I should have no issues with getting a good signal I read the bigger the better for some satellites.

Assuming that the windows in the side of the house are 4 foot high, The the dish is probably 8 foot. My opinion only.

If you use Google Earth you can zoom in as close as possible directly above it's location and use the measuring too to get a rough estimate of the size. I've don't that before and it is surprising just how accurate it can be. :)

Didn't think of that, not sure if I can do it with a Mobile device? My PC was packed today. I'm going to give it a try.

I don't use mobile devices other than a cheap talk only cell phone so I can't say. Also depends on how recent the imagery for the area is.

Its about 4 years old based on what the owner told me had changed. The tool shows it's a little over 10" I think 10' I think it's to close to be a 12'
