Question Re Dish Size - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

I'm considering putting up a dish to get AMC 9 (Ku), and was wondering what size of dish will be needed in Southern Ontario. The largest I can get locally is 36".

For St Kitts that would be fine.

Yes, a 36 inch dish is 2 degree compliant for Ku-band and thus can be used for any Ku-band satellite with normal coverage levels in your area. This includes Ku band AMC 9.

Thanks for the replies. Now I just have to wait until I move from where I live that has a 1 dish limit, to my new location next month.
