I tried my google.com foo out...
3 month old article on directv 2.4 ant. yielded the following;
8 mile useable range ~
Of course range is subjective, could be as little as 8 foot to 80 milies.
14 month old article for Primestar
10 mile range~
Of course range is subjective, could be as little as 8 foot to 80 milies.
14 months isn't terribly old IMHO esp. when dealing with an antenna.
Awww damn I guess just proved you didn't google for shiat.
It wasn't real hard, both results were gleaned within the first 10 results of searching.
"directv" + wifi
"primestar" + wifi |
Not to mention the stuff that has the 120+ mile hops with the Big Ugly Dishes...
@Dagnasty: You could have easily gone out YOURSELF and checked the frequency bands in question JUST LIKE I DID before posting my reply. I already knew the answer, having worked with satellite technology in the past. I just wanted to verify the information was easily available before posting. Just as dakkon2k indicated, I also had multiple hits with links to BASIC information about satellite frequency ranges, dish sizes, etc. within the first 10 hits, thus the 'search' notation in my reply, so please don't piss and moan about being told to search.
