[icu1954]

hi, guys.i have been into fta now about 2 weeks,i have gotten my feet wet and have came to know that there is not a whole lot of english channels on ku band,but i still love the world of fta satellite.I want to move on to a 6foot c band dish,and wanted to know since i live in the almost exstreme south would a 6 footer benefit me where i would be satisfied with what i could get with a 6footer,i am currently running a 39" dish which is o.k. but i need more.You guys have helped me so much until i am amazed at there are still good people out there....like i said i love this stuff

Get the 6 foot dish before it gets away ! It's a bargain and Cband is a worthwhile venture.

2 nd on the 6' dish. After mini bud for 5+ years I wonder why I didn't just replace the patriot that Ivan destroyed

Since you're in la and will see a storm before I do, set it up so you can take it down when something like Ivan comes through. I notched the post mount with a hacksaw blade and witness mark so I can quickly take down and replace and be back in service as quick as possible. Lesson learned the hard way

yep the 6 footer would be fine

There is a lot of English channels on KU band. If your on a static mount and stuck on 97W then you have a point. With a motor and being able to swing the dish there is a lot of stuff up there available for the picking.
