Is this for Canadian service as nothing that large would be needed in the lower 48 for Dish or DirecTV.
I see you are from BC so I am guessing this must be for Shaw as Bell is no longer usable in most of the US.
When camping in the US we've found that the Bell signal we use fizzles out towards the WA/OR border. Tried it down in Monterey last summer and of course got zero. We've often been in what should be decent coverage locations but our old dish couldn't catch enough of the signal to work and sometimes just a few waving tree tops was enough to kill reception. Bell re-jigged their satellite signal some years ago to cut off near the Can/US border. Maybe Shaw is similar?
