A 7.5 foot or Larger Dish is Recommended for our Cisco PowerVu signals.

You will need a well aligned 7.5 foot or larger dish to insure 100% proper reception of the HD S2 Mpeg 4 PowerVu channels we offer. If your dish is smaller then 10 feet we highly recommend a PLL LNB.

A quality PLL LNB, Norsat, California Amplifier, or NJR are recommended. Please don't use a low priced LNB, it may not be stable and perform properly. Do not use an LNBF LNBF's do not supply the proper specifications needed for our HD high quality signals. LNBF's perform poorly and will not be up to the task for many signals we provide.
