Not possible. 30" or larger is required as FSS sats are low power compared to DSS sats. The degree spacing is a problem as well 2 vs. 9. Just get a 30" or more dish, you can't miss.

The only things the 500 is good for are the barker and music channels that are fta on echo and nimiq. I'm sure, you don't want to watch the barker channel all day! Although, the music channels may be nice..

As I was standing on a ladder aiming an Ebay dish at the Canadian satellite, the blues song I heard was, "I know I got a few bad habits Baby, but the one I'm going to lose is you."

You must have heard that on CKRY FM Calgary because that is the only COUNTRY fta radio channel on Nimiq!

It was the Blues.
C&W in French sounds really strange to me, though.
