in my opinion (only based from area) i would have to say not very accurate when it comes to sizes and what you can get in your area. when i looked at it, it seems like i cant catch anything from here lol but i have heaps of birds under lock includin DN sats
Since I'm considering retiring to Costa Rica I decided to take a peek at what info they had and they showed that CR is outside the footprint of most of the NA birds. dishpointer did show some NA birds (such as Galaxy 3 C-band) could be picked up with a 10 footer. Others have stated that a 25+ foot dish would work to pick up the NA birds. Dishes of that size would be difficult to install and maintain. If a 12 foot dish was adequate for Ku and if there was more content on the Ku birds then I would consider putting up a dish in CR. I suppose that there are some C-band sats in view that carry English language programming that I could pick up with a 12 footer. Otherwise, I'll have to go with a fixed pizza dish (Sky).
jn, you might search threads by "tonydix", he lives in Panama close to Costa Rica, might give you an idea of what you might be able to do down there. I believe his BUD is a 22-24 footer
Check out these BUD prices: 3 4 5 7 10 meter Large Satellite Dish
Petty cash! Anyway, the 8 meter Prodelin dish would pay for 65+ years of DTV subs.

if you are gonna spend that kind of money might as well add 2 bucks more and get the 21 meter dish
