The music from Pirates of the Caribbean is perfect.

It was cool to see them make a dish, and I guess they had a LNB around? I wonder what part of Mexico they were in. With those signal levels, it wouldn't take much to have rain fade. I would hate to see how quick the Ka band would go out on it.

I have an old 10 foot dish that i still use. Sometime when im bored i will see if i can get 99, 101, and 103 on it. If i can with good signals, great.

I wonder what signal strengths they get from the DirecTV dish they had on the roof?
