We have a single 27" (vert.) dish. Don't know if this is what is referred to as a 30" dish; it's certainly not an 18" dish. Tim tried to pull the second satellite (110?) with this size of dish and could not get a decent signal. So, I don't know if a larger dish will work.
Is a T90 one of those large frame (grid) structured receivers about 5-6' diameter? I've seen a few of those around, probably unused because of a non-compatible head (LNBF? transducer?).
I just googled "toroidal T90" and it's not what I thought. It's a dish with 3 focal points(?) and 3 LBNFs to receive signals from 3 satellites. Would these not work in the Islands because of our location? Aren't these dishes designed to read 3 relative angles that don't really work for us and Alaska? I recall from trips to Alaska where satellite dishes are pointed nearly horizontal because of their relative position to the stationary sats.
