Is there a single dish out there that will do 91, 110, and 119?

I have a T-90 right now and it is working fine, but my wife wants something smaller...

Dish size is mostly based on location, if you are up north you need the bigger dish for 119, if your down south you need the bigger dish for 91. You need to accommodate a sweep of 30 deg for those sats, you will not find anything much smaller than you have now without running into signal-loss issues .......

As Maverick said, its all based on location, and with the wide beam spread between the 119 and 91 satellites you may be stuck with the T90, check with satbeams.com and see if you can maybe go to a T55, that way you can use the LNB's from your T90.

Just zoom into your location and click on it, this will give you the estimated dish size for that satellite.

If you can get 91 then an 18" dish for all 3 is plenty!22370

Thanx for the info! Based on the 119 foot print, I'm gonna give this one a try.. I had the T-90 from when I was living further north and on the fringe of 119...

They have one too that will apparently do 7 LNBs... It also comes with the LNBs, which is good as the T-90 ones won't work with it..
