DOLPHINS: OT Direct TV

[Michael Fischer]

IIRC, DirecTV and DishNetwork are high powered K band. They make up  
for the small size of the dish by having the signal "more powerful.  
The big dish signal didn't have the need for the higher power since  
the surface area of the dish made it work. It also made it better  
when cloud density was a issue for the smaller units.
