You should consider a 95cm dish at minimum. A 120cm dish would be better.

I am reading this thread and understanding that TVPolonia is FTA on Telstar 11? Would my thinking be correct that receiveing it in Toronto, Canada would be a possibility?

What equipment would i need?

My second question is regarding the receivers from sadoun which are equipped with smart card readers. Would I be able to purchase one like that and receive Globecast programming on Telstar 5 with subscription??? :?:

I can get it in Florida, i know people in Texas see it too. so Toronto should be fine as well. You must have a bigger dish, I got 1 meter fot T11 but 90cm is fine. I have heard that Globecast would send you the card only if you get their equipment with their CAM number, so call them first.

TV POlonia is Polish, and it is FTA on Telstar 11. On Telstar 5 it's subscription only. To find channels and satellites go to lyngsat.com

You might want to check your azim/elevation and LNBF skew first before you change the LNBF. Go here to check all of that http://sadoun.com/Sat/Installation/S...Calculator.htm

After you align your dish to the correct directions, if you still getting a weak signal, you could consider changing your LNBF (though no guarantees on getting the signal). Make sure your receiver can use a universal LNBF. Some receivers don't accept a universal LNBF only standard.

On a perfectly aligned dish I 've seen signal improvement of 5-8% when using a 0.5 db LNBF compared to a 0.6 db lnb.
