seriously doubt if the RF section is any better, though, since everyone
seems to design these beasts on the left coast, directly under the bird.

dish is as close to optimum as possible for an 80's vintage solid dish,
since we've been fighting TI on our Premier feed. (MCI finally killed that
carrier, the Premier Starguide is at 12 now).

have arrows in their backs.  As I mentioned, I have my two ABC Starguides
configured with extra cards and cross-permissioned to back up each other.
ABC can wait two or three years to get the "latest and greatest" to me.
