haven't really set down and count the total some channels come and go fairly quick. yes there is at least a 115 channels on IA5.yes it is possible to get fewer channels than others do to location.line of site.and dish size all of these can be a factor. as i said in the past thats what this forum is all about helping others they are a great group.

On my latest T5 install I had a power scan Fortec receiver, forget which model, and it found 182 channels -- of course not all were FTA but there are still tons of free channels on this bird - enough for just about anyone...
