    How to improve 82?

    This one for Direct TV would also work very well for Bell.

    How to improve 82?

    It has been mentioned elsewhere, but this seems like the perfect place to mention it again. Some dish arms are the right length for a single LNBF by itself (directly on the end of the arm), and some are the right length for the Y-adapter than holds the LNBFs (an inch or two further out). Everyone knows about focusing - right? So just be aware of what you're doing when you mix and match bits and pieces.

    Price check - local dealer sells 30" dishes for about $80.

    So I would order that with the LNB's?

    There is more to it than just focusing but you are right. You cannot put a Y adapter from a 20" dish on any other dish and expect it to work. Adapters are available to use more than one LNB with a single LNB dish but it can take quite a bit of tweaking to get good results. It is better to buy the right dish and LNB for the job in the first place.

    A while back, I posted some vendors/prices for 24/30/36 inch dishes with LNBs for very attractive prices.

    If you order a DirectTV dish, you need to buy the LNB's. The DTV uses a square mount (instead of the Dish Network 1/2 moon mount). You can put DTV LNB's on a Dish arm, but not the other way around.

    Thanks for the link Madbob.
    Ordered the Winegard 30" today. Hope to see similar results as yourself.

    Cheers... Murph.

    Hey Murph,

    How did that Winegard 30" work out? I get rain fade on my 20" Dual LNBF. Can I just order that 30" dish from 21st Century and mount my Dual LNBF's on it for Nimiq 1 and 2?

    No, the Winegard dish is a single sat dish. I left the 20" BEV dish up for sat 91.
    The 30" Winegard has performed flawlessly even last week in 96kph winds and heavy-heavy rain, I've never lost signal . I posted the signal strengths I was getting shortly after I installed it, lowest transponder was 95, most in the 97-99 range and 5 or 6 were 100.
    All I can say is if you have the room for the two dishes, and dont mind the way it looks, go for it! You wont be dissapointed!

    Cheers... Murph.
