Need some help guys...I have a few dishes laying around and now that its warm enough to do stuff outside,
Now I started thinking of these dishes I have and trying to get the biggest ones mounted, but sicne some are round and some are oblong, I get confused. I think oblong you just tak the average of the 2 dimensions, right?
Here's what I have to work with
30" Winegard (currently on motorized)
36" Fortec (currently on G10)
Here's what I have left
37x27" StarChoice dish (I assume this is the equivalent of a 32")?
40x30" Primestar (assume its the equivalent of a 35")?
32x18" DirecPC dish (24")?
39x23" DirecPC dish (31")?
I was going to replace the 30" Winegard with the SC dish, but if its only an inch or more bigger, it may be more work to retrofit the dish then to get good results.
So I assume it goes (from smallest to biggest)
32x18 SC
30" Winegard
39x23 DPC
37x27 SC
40x30 P*
36" Fortec
or are the oblong ones measured differently? Only reason I ask is I use to have the 39x23 DPC dish for G3 (for NoDak Hockey) and I would get a strong signal on that but my 30" I'd get squat.
