Hi
If the weather is not perfect here in Chicago. Like rain, snow, crappy day I have some break up.
I don't mind putting up a dedicated dish for 83.0W just so I always have that perfect picture.
I'm glad that I'm not the only person watching this great channel.

I tried today at about 4:30est all I got was audio, but it was broken up.
It was complete overcast.
When we live in this area we get alot of that especially thru the winter, plus we get the lake affect snows. Not looking forward to this winter.

I'm looking for a 36inch dish to try. I'm going to see if I can borrow one to try out to see if a larger dish will get a stable signal. I presently have a 31inch Fortec Star motorized dish.

Ok good to know. I'm at 42 here in Chicago. I have a 7.5 ft cband in my garage. I would like to put in my yard someday.

Western NY, my 4 foot dish gets RTV reliably.
Only when it thunderstorms very hard do I ever lose the picture.

Well that's good to know that a 4 foot will work. It's a big dish I would if the 7.5 prime focus dish would work. I'm thinking of putting it on the cement with some cinder blocks to try it out.
