I just bought and spent all day putting up my two new 24" Hotshot dishes. I get a signal strength of 99 on the 101 bird and a signal strength of 94 on the 119 bird. I am curious if anyone had ever goten a signal strength of 100? Also the hotshot's have a built in heater that will melt all snow and ice off guaranteed! This will come in handy on those snowy nights. You may say why did I do this? I did it because I get My 65" Diamond series Mitsubishi Tommorrow and I never want to get drop-outs again!!! To finish off the configuration I do want to say that I did have the 18x24" eliptical dish before the new dishes. If you ask anyone the eliptical dish is a compromise to save room. I gave it a try and did not like the 80's of signal strength. You do need the multiswitch(4in x 4out) to use both dishes simultaniously. If you need to get more signal check out radioshack.com they have the hotshot line.
