You post is not very clear. What satellites are you looking for and what channels?

Hi, I started with FTA a few months ago.. I am very happy with it. If this interests you... you should first take a long look at www.lyngsat.com

Pay special attention to their color coded system--some of the channels are "in the clear" or FTA, others are encoded. Also, with the smaller dishes (up to 90cm) you can only receive the frequencies that have 5 numbers ie: 12108 v 6666. All of those DIGITAL frequencies listed at 11000 and higher, which are not encoded, you can receive. Also, pay attention to where you live, you will only be able to receive those satellites in your region.

Once you decide what it is you really want to receive...come back and ask us some more questions.

There are limits for the channels you can get (C, KU, FTA, Encrypted, receivers, etc)

In this forum we can only discuss how to receive the free to air channels. We do not dicuss receiving encrypted channels illigaly without the proper subscription to the channels service provider. Please keep that in mind.
