freezy SatelliteGuys Pro Apr 19, 2009 960 0 Land of Sky Blue Water Jun 29, 2009 #2 diameter right across the front of it with the tape taut. If its an eliptical measure both the widest and the narrowest like 36" x 24" etc... not too silly of a question

Tron SatelliteGuys Master May 6, 2005 6,599 35 Metro New Orleans, LA Jun 30, 2009 #5 Many dishes advertised as 36" (90 CM) are more like 34.5" wide by 37.5" high. The egg shape is to compensate for the offset, so that the dish looks round from the point of view of the satellite.
