Hi all,

I leave in MD. My lon & lat are 38.9N & 76.7W. I will use a 36 " Fortec Star Offset Dish (FC90P). So, I wonder how many sattelites can my dish pick up?
Is that true that I will be able to get signal from all the North and South sattelites as listed in the Sadoun webpage bellow.

Can anyone tell me that. Thank you.

My assumption is you are going motorized. I have found that both my motors which are different brands have 57 degrees of travel in each direction but I hear this is adjustable up to 70. At 57 degrees travel and being at 76 your out of the box arc would be from 19 up to 133. So any sats in this range with a beam towards the US you should be able to view.
