Which Dish would I need?

[AbuHatem]

Hello,

I live on the East coast (Virginia). I want to watch CNN International primarily. I have found two satellites on Lyngsat which supposedly beam to N. America but I am not sure which dish I would have to have to receive them.

The first one is Atlantic Bird which supposedly beams CNN International. The Lyngsat website gives coordinates for it in N. America here.

There is also NSS7 which also does so, and the coordinates of N. America are here.

Now, are these possible to be picked up in N. America, and if so with what Dish and what receiver? I have a C-Band dish with an old Uniden.

Sorry, those sats beam to Europe, and not Virginia. You can't get that signal on a BUD in VA. Perhaps they have a website for that program.

even though these sats have TP beaming to america most of them are feeds the channel you are looking to get is on a Europe beam only.

There are no sattelites with a beam for CNN International at all in North America that are not PowerVu encrypted?
