You should be OK with a 20 inch dish (50cm) or larger.

Are you able to adjust your LNBF skew 15 degrees on your 26" dish? If you want to make sure you will get it, I'd recommend you get a WS9036 90cm dish and a linear Ku LNBF. This should work and make you happy!

Sure you can get the strong signals (color bars)

But if your going for RTN, YOUR DREAMING

RTN is nice and solid on my 1.2M dish, barely useable on the 90cm dish, generally.

hay I have a six foot dish will that work and a gtsat lnb linear n.f.o2db

I'm getting RTN on a 36" 3ABN (similar to the GeoSatPro 90), for the most part without any problems. I did have low signal a couple of days ago, but its back up now.

As you can see from the replies, RTN varies and is weak. My opinion is that a 1.0M dish will give you enough margin that you'll be happpy with it. Bigger is better and a 1.2M wouldn't be overkill.

I'm getting rtn (now rtv) on a 30" dish & my local is similar to yours. It is kind of difficult because there is a strong test signal on the adjacent 85W satellite.
