One more poll.

Can members state their preference for C band dish size if they were in the market to make a purchase?

Thanks.

The bigger, the better, just like in other aspects of life.

I voted for 12ft.

I am using a 10 footer. I think it is the right size for C band satellite reception in the USA.

I voted for 10 foot. I have absolutely no problems with this dish size on C band throughout the arc.

8 foot is probably a tad too small for some signals and 12 foot is overkill in my opinion.

Might as well get the best bang for your buck!

I have on old "'Radioshack" 9 footer now. If I could find the $ I think I could get a 12 footer on the pole in back of the house, so my vote is for a 12' Jess out in California
9' mesh with c/ku feed horn,lnb's w/polorotor. Recievers hooked up: AZ prem hd., Pansat9500,and Manhattan. I have a few others in my colection including an old Satcruiser and a Captiveworks3000.

12 foot for me.
I am too cheap to pay for a banner slot to hawk my products so I spam this board instead. I am intolerant of the c band community, so I belittle them under different aliases. I post fake news on the guitar man's website. Now I am no longer welcome here.
