CROW 492 FTA Questions

[mikepr]

Hi there I was wondering if you could help me out crow. Im located in southern ontario (about an hour from Detroit) . I was wondering is there anyt satellites I might be able to pick up besides D@@h and B@@L with my FTA and...(this is the important part) my normal set up EG normal dishnet dish and lnb. I dont have much roomin my back for a larger Dish and was wondering if there is a slight chance I can pick up other satellites with my current setup (most interested in network Feeds). I know there are AMC and GAlaxy ones out there (i go to lngsat)

Thanks in advance for your help

Lot's I got all new sticky's If you dont whant a big dish I would go to a 33" Ku dish with linier LNB not the same as you Bell or DTV dish they will not work for real free to air.

HOw much would one of these dishes cost (im in ontario canada). Whats the LNB like, I know there is no fiddling with the dish/bev/ ones. Also would i need to adjust the lnb settings in my FTA?? would i need passwords or any modifications to my pantec to get the locals??

Thanks alot I really appreciate this

The 33" Dish with Linier LNB will cost about 100.00$. And the HH mortor is about the same price. But remeber it moves to give you all Ku Band Sat's & singnals. Look around were they sell FTA.

LNB Setting's for that dish is 10750 insted of your 11250.

The HH motor conects right to your coax no extra wires at all.

I looked at some ob fleabay (lnbs) some of them looked liked the normal lnbs that we have , while some were staright..any prefereence?

Whell you dont wont the BIG Dish so you are looking for a Ku Band Linier LNB they are some times a litle smaller. You Bell & Dishnet LNB Is called DSS LNB.

Could One Not Use A Direcpc Dish And Lnb, I Beleive They Are Linear And Quite Large As Well. I Just Dont Know About Polorization.any Ideas, If Not Ill Make A Nice 802.11 Antenna Out Of It.

[Crow 492]

If its liniear then yes you will know when you dont get no signal on 10750.

[dishman84]

u should be able to use the 121 lnb from a superdish as from what i read 121 sat requires a linear lnb only.

[Crow 492]

thanks dishman84 there are so many dish's out there.

Someone in my city offered me this deal and was wanting to know if you think it is a good deal

Hello Ted, I have a brand new 36" Dish with Linear LNB at

hey crow492 how many channels do you get like the one that stay online? English Only. And is the quality as good as the dish or bev quality?

[Crow 492]

mikepr If its new than yes its worth it.

diehard_ca Its no were the same a dish or bell On Galaxy 10R there is about 28 channels all locals and other's on Ku band C band has loot's more. This is were the HH motor comes in handy so the dish could move to other sat'sfor more channels.
