Moving from 90CM to 100CM dish

rickmmrr · #1 (**permalink**) 07-14-2006, 08:22 AM

I think I have a 90CM now. It measures about 37" from top to bottom.

Anyway I'm in upstate NY and the only sats I get a good signal on are the dish and bev birds. I want to get IA5 and others but the signal is really weak.

Is it that I don't have my HH mount set up properly or would I be better off getting a 100CM dish.

Thanks,

Your 90 cm dish is plenty big enough for IA5 and other FTA satellites. If you are using a motor then the problem is likely the arc tracking; you should realign the dish following Sadoun's instructions.

as kat said the 90 should be just find my 90 gets ia5 at about 70% quality and I haven't got it fine tuned yet.

I'm using an 80cm dish in Western NY, works very well.

I agree, Rick needs to dial in his dish a bit better.
