other than the KU feed on Dish 119, NASA only broadcasts on C-band
I had decent results with a 4 footer but I know of a few folks who have used 5 footers with no issues

If the single NASA feed is sufficient, then any 18" dish with a circular LNB, pointed at 119° west, will get ya going.
Most of us could easily find such a dish in the trash, if we looked.
Goodness knows, many could find several in our garage! -

And even the SD ones are WAAAY better pic quality than 119!But the NASA feed on C-Band has 3 channels and one extra in HD
Yes, all true, but the OP said:
For all we know, it's going in for his aging grandfather, who has poor sight anyway.
And, all things being relative, the 119°w is not so bad, and a heck of a lot easier to set up.
In fact, I think we all wish WhiteSprings looked so good! - -
So, if he needs the multiple feeds, or the HD, or can get by with Dish Network 544x480, he has all the info to make his decision.

Okay, PKII, so what -are- you setting up for?
And which way did you decide to go?
Either is fine, but I know I'm curious! -
Doesn't sound like it was for this current Hubble servicing mission, or you'd have said you were watching it...
.. so... ??
