Need advice for a dish/LNB combo
I'm looking to buy a NFusion HD. What size of dish should I install to get the best possible signal, and what kind of LNB should I install onto it? The house that I recently moved into has a Direct TV multi-satellite dish with three LNBs. Could I use this dish in order to get a good HD signal on my receiver?

Thanks in advance for the help!

For the most bang for you buck install a motorized system. There are many many things up there if you have a motor. I personally have a 39 inch dish with an Invacom QPH-031 LNB. Works great with the NFusion HD I have. It have virtually no rain fade and I am currently scanning 7 sats with it. It is in a bad location or I could get a few more.

wow, this is my setup exactly. good advice.
I have an SG6000 motor that just quit working. I suspect the gears stripped while moving it in a high wind.
I'm replacing it with an SG-9120 heavy duty motor...it's new to the market and it has metal gears.
a motor really changes what you are able to watch. and having a dual frequency (linear/circular) lnb adds a lot to it.
