But if you are going to have HD it is going to be a multil LNB Oval dish.... never measued it, but vs 18" circular... might be as much as 28" (h) oval still ~18 vertical.

The dish they used for my HD install is actually a Dish 1000, not a 500. The 500 is round. The 1000 is oval. |

| The OP didn't mention anything regarding HDTV. The question was about the size of a "wing dish", which is most commonly used to receive a satellite in an orbital position which is a greater distance apart than a multi-position dish can physically "see". |

| OK missed that, those are the same as the standard 18" round one... and are a second dish, unless you are buying only that programing, and not the main bird nat networks.
Guess I was just thinking of the oval's sort of wing shape... if they had said wing bird/sat instead of just wing wouldn't have missed that intent.
