I got to get a house! but meanwhile my landlord will only allow 1 dish on the balcony. I currently have a dish 500 hitting 110/119. I moved up to HD so I would want get 129 and would love to also get110,118/119, 91 and 82. Is there a single dish that could handle these 5 lnb's?

Even a dish 500 should be able to do all 5 LNBs--what you get on each bird might be too weak at the extreme angles though. I once did an experiment with an 18 inch dish and a provider LNB and was able to get usable signal with a 45 degree angle between sat, dish and LNB--signal level was down by about 30% from usual level (aprox cos(45) would be the geometrical decrease in area that the dish exposed to the signal). Now that was with circular polarized signal and strong level coming in, with linear pol signals the drop off of signal is far quicker and the "sweet spot" is a lot harder to find. Maybe point the dish to the extreme angles from your longitude and let the stronger, near longitude sats be the ones that have extreme angles.

I would first go to the link below and see what size dish is recommended for 129W at your location, 129W has a funny footprint, in some areas you can get it with a pie plate, other areas you need a 48" dish, so depending on where you live you need to check before you go out and get a dish that may or may-not work for 129W.

Use the CONUS beam as the Canadian beam is not active, just zoom into your location and click on where the dish will be located, this will give you an estimated dish size for good reception on 129W, if you live in a heave snow area, then a larger dish may be necessary.

Okay if I did it correct it looks like the following dish sizes: 129-18.9 inches, 91/82-27.6 inches 110/119-18inches. I guess I can't go wrong with the E85 dish.

I notice the the E85 has a tripod mount. Does it come with a wall mount? I would need to mount it to my balcony fence.
