I live in Southern Baja, over a 1.000 miles south of L.A.
I can get 119 with a 18" DTV dish( 52% signal strenght and can see all channels) but get only 43% signal strenght on 110 with same dish, so I can't see it.
What kind of dish and what size would I need, considering that I am at the margins of the satellites footprints?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Superdish should do it. It's bigger to catch the 105 or 121 sat. Should get you into the 70% range on 110 and 119.

The other option would be a 1 meter dish. Two actually one for 110 and one for 119. Then use a SW21 switch to combine them.

Thanks t160hq. I have tried with a round one of that size but didn't work. I've tried an oval one but no good either. I'm getting the 119 with a DTV super dish though!

Go to a big HOTEL and get a platter ..make sure it's filled with food ..and just grab it and run ..don't look back ..just run fast ..try not to spill any food off the dish ..chanch's are that you will see yourself on TV later that night ..while watching TV with your free dish..?..Worked for me ..sigh .but than look at where I ended up ..lmfao..?
