Hi Everyone,
I want to get an FTA system and so far I have come up with the following:
M-2 system with a 90cm dish.
I have a few questions:
1. Will the 90cm be enough for the Chicago area? I know that bigger is better. I just want to know if it is sufficient.
2. I have a Dish Network receiver. Can I get it to work with FTA channels if I add another dish? Or is Dish Network completely different?
3. It is hard to figure out the right info on Lyngsat about the programming. The bottom line is: Will I be able to get Russian Channels? Does anyone know of any? I see that there are a few in Europe, but I couldn't find any in the US.
4.
C band requires a big dish. Does it mean that it's old technology and I should not worry about it? Our bylaws only allow dishes up to 100cm..
Does it pay to even try to use a dual band LBNF?
5. What does the "blind search" mean? Does it mean that I can just press scan and it finds all the sattelites within the limits of the dish and recognizes the channels?
I appreciate your help.
Alkogolik.
