LNB's & Birds :-)

[WyrTwister]

I am going to try this too . Been reading a lot . If I get some of this wrong , some one please correct me . :-)

First , I have a question for you . Which bird ( satellite ) did you try to pick up ?

A FTA receiver or DVB PC card will not pick up DTV . A FTA receiver will pick up the radir channels on DN ( Dish Network ) & BEV ( Bell Express View ) Canadian . It will also pick up the un-encripted " barker " ( announcement channels ) .

There are other FTA channels on other birds . Much of this appears to be ethnic / foreign , educational , public broadcasting and religous programming .

I am going to try a FTA set top receiver & an 18" DTV dish . How well this will work on an 18" DTV dish , I will probably find out .

My DTV dish is set for around 50 degrees of elevation for the origional bird , at 101 degrees ( I think ) . If I point it at a different bird , I think the elevation must change ?

Also , I think the DTV LNB is made for circular pollarization . Also DN & BEV ? But the other KU band DVB birds , are they circular , horizontal or vertical ?

Do I need a differnet LNB for the other birds ? With the correct LNB how many KU band DVB birds transmit a strong enough signal for me to pick up with the 18" dish ?

Thanks
