H HDTVFanAtic SatelliteGuys Pro May 23, 2005 1,973 1 Apr 15, 2006 #3 I went from a 20" to a 36" - very close to a 100% increase last year - and only saw around a 20 point increase - from the high 50s to the high 70s. I was guessing a move from a 20" to a 24" would show 3-4, so if at 5, you did well. Also, start here and read down: http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=49480 Last edited: Apr 15, 2006

miguelaqui SatelliteGuys Pro Original poster Oct 14, 2004 1,002 28 Apr 15, 2006 #4 Thanks. I was trying to go from a D500 for 91/82, the N2 transponders were in the high 60s, to using 2 dishes. I guess I was just expecting more than 5% from such a larger dish, especially since the D500 was doing both 91 and 82. Now I know that this is just normal.
