For those interested, we have set one of our noaaport dishes to the new 
galaxy-28 bird, and kept our second dish on ses-1 until the final 
switch, so we can both compare signal quality and conduct a little 
experiment on signal quality between a solid and mesh dish.
Statistics are live comparing signal to noise ratio, signal strength, 
and volume etc....

fyi I set my inbound stream from the novra directly into its own nic 
(eth1) to provide a clean volume assessment and xfer, then outbound to 
downstream boxes on eth0 :

For my downstream and backup friends, both dishes are feeding into my 
outbound relays so you are receiving data from both, based upon whatever 
measure Steve Emmerson uses to determine which feed is primary  (the 
novras and relays are all on the same lan etc..)
If we have 'active weather' you can also view our live webcam to see how 
snow buildup and such on the dishes affect parabolics.. (i know.. i'm a 
geek lol)
Merry Christmas!
