    Default bev Dish Recommendation

    Hello All

    Currently, My buddy has a Dish aimed at the 82. Her signal gets in about 80% of channels. Any recommendations on a dish or lnb that would allow for a stronger signal from the New England area?

    Will keep the same. Thanks fellas. My friend gets decent signal on 82 but almost no signal on 91 based on where she is located.

    Here is an active foot print map for Nimig 6 at 91 West, as you can see by zooming in to the New England area (or her location) that the foot print for it goes almost all the way down to NYC.

    Code:
    https://www.satbeams.com/footprints?norad=38342
    If your friend is outside that foot print then she may be out of luck, a bigger dish may help, as it shows that at least a 30 inch dish would be needed right at the limit line by NYC.

    And I think you have your satellites mixed up as the foot print for 82 W misses the same area by quite a bit.

    Code:
    https://www.satbeams.com/footprints?norad=38342
    So maybe she is getting 91W but not 82W.

    That's what it is.....always thought the 91 footprint was smaller than 82

    Is your dish skewed for NE for 82-91, assuming you are using a dish 500 dish right?
