I got lucky and finally got some channels both from Satmex 5 and 6, I did not get all the channels that were listed. Why? I don't know.. What does 13 degrees gold C-Band Lnbf mean. I know finally thanks to you guys about the lnbf. What does the 13 degrees mean????

Do I still need to align the dish? Even after getting some channels on satmex 5 and 6?????

I noticed on lynsat, There were some channels on C1, C2, &C3 Are we able to get all of them or just on C1. What is the difference between them...

That is where the beam is pointed. If you click on it you should see the beam associated. If you live within that area you should be able to see it.
