Need setup help please.....

Are there any analog channels left since the digital changeover , im about to install a c band dish and 4dtv box but do not have a subscription and was wanting to get the dish and box tuned and locked on sats b4 subbing. Could i do that without any channels coming in , i dont have a signal meter , i have put these things in long ago and just carried my tv and reciever out to the dish with me to get it tuned , is it still possible to do that?

Its been prolly 6-8 years since i installed one so im kinda ( actually more than kinda im REAL) rusty..... thanks everyone!

ther are a few analog channels left one at 99w and several on G1. best way is use a fta box to line up your dish that way you have a lot of channels to choose from see LyngSat - Lyngemark Satellite)

The digital conversion did not affect the Satellite systems, they have been digital for many years now with the exception of a few analog channels left on G1. T5 (97w) designation for 4DTV has many FTA channels on it. This would be a good one to align your dish to without a subscription. See LYNGSAT FOR TRANSPONDER INFORMATION. If you want more FTA channels I recommend a Fortec Receiver from us with Blindscan. Very easy to use and scan with. Then use your 4DTV for the others.

Well if it will quit raining here long enough to get the dish setup ill give the FTA box a go... thanks guys!
