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.
the 90 cm dish should work just fine.
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?
no dish receiver for dish network won't do fta.
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.
there are some russian channels on
IA5.
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?
not old technology when use with FTA but you will need a bigger dish than 100cm.
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?
when you find a sat it find all of the avaiable transponders for that sat.
I appreciate your help.
Alkogolik.
