The satellite dish is actually a parabolic microwave antenna, which is capable of receiving and sometime transmitting signals from and to a satellite. The focal point of the dish receives signals through a device known as the feedhorn, which is responsible for receiving the signals and converting them to an LNB format. Satellite dishes are available in a variety of sizes, which can be often confusing and many potential buyers want to know which dish would suit their requirements best.
There are a number of factors, which would determine the optimum size of the satellite dish for a buyer and one of them is his geographical location and the prevalent weather conditions. A recommendation by experts advises that while people living close to the equator would receive a strong beam even with a smaller size dish, those living close to the Earth's poles would require a bigger dish in order to enjoy an unbroken and strong signal quality. Likewise, people living in areas with heavy rainfall should install a bigger dish as it is more suitable in countering the weather conditions and ensuring smooth continuous operation. Another consideration, which could influence the decision pertaining to the size of the satellite dish is the material of the dish. Satellite dishes are manufactured from steel, aluminum, fiberglass and since the quality of received signal depends on the inherent characteristics of the material, this factor is an important determinant for finalizing the size of the dish as well.

However, the location is by far the most decisive factor - the best possible way to determine the size of the satellite dish that you need, is to contact your satellite TV provider, inform them about your location and ask them for advice. You can also get online, join one of the many Internet forums, and discuss your needs with people who have gone though the same route. The size of the dish and its type mainly depends on the position of the satellites and often you can receive a single from more than one satellite position by adding a second LNB or by purchasing bigger satellite dish.
There is another way to determine the size of the dish that you need - get online and find the website of the satellite that you would want your dish pointed to and often you will find satellite dish calculators, which will help you determine the optimal size. However, if you are not working with a very tight budget, bigger dish would normally give you better reception. Keep in mind that the quality of the signal largely depends on the dish size, but the LNB type, the receiver, the cable and its length play a role as well. It is always preferable to call a professional installer as he would be capable of recommending the optimal dish size and type and even though this is likely it to cost some money, would ensure clear and uninterrupted reception. And once you have purchased the proper satellite dish, the correct aligning, the cable type, and the receiver also play a major role and can affect the quality of the received signal.
