His best bet is to put up a 90 cm dish (stationary) with a linear LNB and point it at IA5 (97); then get a circular LNB and tie-wrap to to the linear LNB to pull in DTV on G3C. This is assuming that all he wants from Directv is SBTN.

Thanks bobkat & rainman!
Good to know that DTV receiver doesn't control a mortor.
Invacom qph-031 lnbf is a good option.
So, I will have to run 2 cables to 2 receivers. With M2 system and Invacom qph-031 lnbf, if i want to watch SBTN, I can use pansat to move the dish to 95 then watch it on DTV receiver. Does it work like that?
I like to be able to get more FTA channels than just VTV4.
I maybe wrong, but doesn't SBTN use a linear lnb? DTV's international dish has 2 lnb, circular one is for local channels, linear one is for SBTN. Please enlightened me on this.

Thanks.
