1 meter portable satellite dish
I've been told that once I get about 200 miles into Baja I will need at least a 1 meter dish to get Dish Network.
Does anyone know where I can by a portable dish of this size?
Are they available in Baja? and if so, are they cheaper than the US?
I am heading for Cabo and expect to be knocking about in Baja for about 2 months so need something easy to set up and store.

You got to have something to do after dark, and since I'm single and don't frequent bars, that leaves books and TV.
Plus I'm addicted to CNN

It's ok, you're allowed to watch TV in Baja. Check out http://www.winegard.com . If you are going all the way to the tip, you WILL need a larger dish. In BCN, a regular size will do.

I confess!
Yeah, yeah.... I confess that there's a Portable DVD or Xbox blasting away in our Rover during the long travels. I never watch the DVD movies while I
am driving, I prefer playing the Xbox as we cruise!

Hey Yankeeirishman;
considering what I've heard about the width of the highways down there, I hope you're not looking at anything but the road while driving!!
And I plan on doing all that other stuff, plus more when I get there. But I'll leave the snake catching to you. I'm not afraid of catching them but
don't know what to do with them after I catch them.

Sat. dish in Baja
I bought a 1 meter in the states last year & brought down to Loreto. Couldn't raise Dish 500 with it. Been told I need something larger. Geezzzz!!!!
In LaPaz prior to that time, I priced 1 meters & was told it would be $395.00 u.s. I passed. Paid $150.00 from Sat. store in Oregon. Check with any
sat. installation where you are going & you shouldn't have any trouble finding one. Will just have to deal with the price. Good luck, and let us know
what you ended up doing.

Phil S,
If I understand you correctly, a 1 meter dish will NOT be big enough in Cabo? I'm trying to get the Dish 119W satellite.
Does anyone know just how big I have to go?

dish in cabo
t&t. It didn't work for us. Ask around. Must be some people living in Cabo or S.J. del Cabo who could respond to this request. However, the l meter
dish did work for us from a friend who loaned us their signal & receiver on Direct t.v.

OK, so where do I buy a 1.2 meter portable dish?
The largest that Winegard lists is the 1 meter.

Antique C-Band dish...20 footer
this was great for watching those I Love Lucy reruns in the 70's!!! Anybody have a use for this? Has a receiver, tuner, motor, etc. Free to a TV
lover's home.
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

20' sat. antenna
Pompano. How abut turning it upside down, add oja's, and a post, and plant in ground & use as outdoor shade area? Seen them here in Loreto, but not
in the 20' size, used that way.
