[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1132544, member: 369937"] A larger dish will help with weather fade outs, however the Ku band is highly susceptible to heavy rain and snow, I dont know the size differances for your zone 1 and 2 dishes, so a zone 2 dish may or maynot help, but the bigger the dish the better the signal if you have weather fade outs. At my location I need to use a 1 meter dish for a satellite thats suposed to be recived on a 22 inch dish, the signal is a bit weak for my location due to a dip in the footprint, so a larger then normal dish was needed. As to the LNB, if it's quite old (8+ years) the a new one would not hurt, and coax does degrade over time, I use the best I can on installs, less problems down the road, coax with a pure copper center and quad shielding helps quite a bit.
