Thanks again for all the help from this site.
I have a 32 by 30 inch dish with a H-H motor drive with a universal LNB.
I live in Miami FL, lattitude 25.5 and longitude 80.18.
I have found three satellites so far, T5ku, AMC4 and AMC3.
Could anyone tell me what other satellites that have fta channels could be found from my location.
Thanks again...

Look here:
http://lyngsat.com/america.html

Anything in GREEN is KU band and will be picked up by your dish.

This assumes your dish can "see" the satellite (not blocked by trees etc).

On the Lyngsat site, open each satellite by clicking on them.
Look for "F" on the Video Encryption column, this usually means they can be received via "Free".
At the bottom of the pages are the total number of Free and Encyrpted transponders. If there are little or no free channels, its prob. not worth taking a look at...
