Depends on where you live, if it’s in the continental US then a Dish 500 will work fine, outside of the US then a bigger dish is needed.

Here is a link to the foot print for 119, select 119 and pick the CONUS beam, then zoom into the map to your area, once there click on your location, it will put a marker there and tell you the approximate dish size for your location.
