: If you mean a standard 18" dish, it doesn't matter. They're all made
to
: the same spec whether it's branded as KTI, Terk, or whatever. It could be
: any DSS dish and lnbf made to view one bird. If you want local channels,
and
: HDTV capability in addition to the DTV standard fare, you'll need a
: dish/lnbf capable of viewing multiple birds. Those too are made to spec by
: more than one manufacturer.
: I get the impression that your researching this info for a future
: purchase. In that case, just look for the best deal you can find for the
: number of receivers you want. The dish will most likely be of the
multi-beam
: type, since it reduces the number of items to be stocked by a distributor
or
: vendor. If you want a dish that will resist rain fade, look for a bigger
: dish to gather more signal. Yes, bigger is better. At least in this case.
: Channel Master makes a larger dish for exactly this purpose.
