Trouble aiming 61.5

[Jim5506]

It's probably more like 90-95%. Because if you use a dish500 with a single lnb on the cebter of satellite beam with a 90° skew (straight on), it will barely be higher than on an offset pattern you'd get from a multi lnb setup.
And for western arc the 119 is basically center anyways so you won't really see a difference but the 110 you would see a little difference but not huge.

I guess I was unclear.
What I was referring to was the surface area of a dish that has the same radius as the Dish Network offset dishes but contains the complete circle of reflector 360 degrees around the lnb's center focus. Dish Network off set dishes have only about 1/4 to 1/5 of that surface area. Indeed the offset dishes do gather enough signal to assemble a digital image and sound but they don't have to be 360 degree dishes like BUDs since the satellites are much more powerful and the lnbs are much more sensitive.
