If money and size is not an issue I would go for the 1m Winegard dish.

Price does matter i want to spend about $75 for a dish
how's about the GeoSatPro, how are the?
Are these dish round or elliptical/oval?

Go with the biggest dish, I am not a fan of Fortec, never had a Geosat though I heard they are good.

is anyone near Avon,ohio that could help me set things up? i would really appreciate it.

A Paraclipse 90 cm ( about $100) is supposed to be excellent, but heavy . Expect to use a STABS hh120 motor with it.

i can say that a GeoSatpro 90cm and the GS120 motor from SatelliteAV is a really nice quality tandem, i would recommend it to anyone.

While slightly out of the budget you suggested, I can highly recommend the Patriot model 85-E elliptical antenna (30 inches tall X 36 inches wide).
Almost as good as the Paraclipse 90 in signal collecting abilities, but without the shipping cost issues (most 90 cm dishes get charged OVERSIZE 3 (90 #) by UPS, with the freight coming to equal or close to the price of the antenna itself.
Both the Paraclipse 90 and Patriot 85-E have very heavy outer edges, which you may not find on many of the lower cost offset antennas. This keeps the antenna's shape much truer over time, which is something to be especially concerned about in areas exposed even to moderate winds.

When using either antenna, the STAB HH-120 is recommended, to deal with
the comparatively heavier weight of these models.

You can't go wrong with Patriot, I love mine!

Go for the 90cm dish or bigger, you won't be dissapointed.
I have a Fortec dish , but the geosat pro sounds good too, and I believe it's in your price range, plus shipping of course.

bigger is always better

Last year, I got the Fortec 36" from Sadoun after reading a review by IceBerg.
Little difference in price over smaller ones, and quite a bit more gain.
...and it didn't need a washing machine motor to fling it around...

 

[dukedefile]

i decided to go with the fortec 90cm too bad i have to pay taxes on it

 

[Anole]

The taxes could be offset by shipping, if you can drive over and pick it up.

Oh, and if shipping charges are zero, by all means get an even bigger one!
