Re: If launch successful, new service starts in April 2007

There's nothing stopping you from using a 10 footer for DishNet or DirecTV, but the huge difference is C Band is around the 3.7ghz-4.2ghz band and the main band DishNet and Direct use is 12.2ghz-12.7ghz. One of the other reasons for the bigger dishes is due to the 2 degree satellite spacing.

When in all actualy cable gets about 75% (a guess) of its programing from a c-band satellite.
There is a big difference in the size of the dishes used by the cable companies and by home users to capture signals. The C-Band dishes have a much better ability to capture a signal during inclement weather.

DTV-Dish dishes
