Iceberg, thanks for the reply. Just curious, how come Dishnetwork can get LBC and MBC if its far away?

anyone have an idea if i can pick up those channels? thnks

so no way to get either lbc, mbc rotana, from FTA?

alright, back to my question. lol how can i get LBC< MBC 1,2,3,4, Rotana and the others. Can the dish be pointed to other satellite and pick up those channels?

LBC and MBC 1,2,3,4 and the others listed above are not in the FTA satellite? What about 15 W° - Telstar 12 can we pick that up from Virginia? i read somewhere that i can pick up LBC and MBC and the others i listed above from that satellite.

questions guys, is there anyway to get MBC 1,2,3,4, rotana, melody tunes, melody, lbc, lbc europe from FTA? (btw, these are arabic channels) If its possible to get, what satellite an pick them up? Thanks

thanks for the advice. IS there any FTA receiver that records?

so any VHF and UHF antenna with over 50miles should be fine like the CM3018?

I live in Dumfries VA. approx 20miles from Washington DC. I want to get CW and the locals, NBC, FOX, CBS, ABC and thats about it really. i think those are all the channels with good info.

What do you all think of this RadioShack® 85" Long Dual Boom, 31-Element Antenna - RadioShack.com So post 6/12/09 transition, i will need to realign the antenna again to pick up the new signals? according to TVFOOL

you guys have all the info. lol well. i checked out the sites. Most of the channels i want are 50ft away. Its in the red. I dont mind getting the antenna on the roof since i am going to install the FTA dish i just purchased. The TV does have a Digital Tuner built in, since i will be connecting...

What HD receiver? What antenna should i run into the back of my HDTV? i used to have an antenna in the attic, one of those bowtie antenna, but it didnt pick up the far channels, like CW, even when it was on the roof it didnt pick it up, any other antenna that you recommend that i can install. I...

I guess i want something that will pick up UHF and VHF right? so an OTA antenna that will do both?

Iceberg and gillham, thanks for the information. If i also want to pick up the local channels, do i have to get just regular antenna and attach it to the roof also? I have a HDTV or can the FTA kit pick up local channels also? If i do have to purchase an outdoor antenna, which one do you all...

ICEBURG, thanks for your detail info. Appreciate all the guidance you and the rest of the board members have given me here. For the installation part, how will i konw where 97W is? is that what the included compas is for? lol Is there a meter that the tech has that will tell him that its...

thank you guys for all the advice. i have ordered the S-1 with the 36" dish. I will update you all when i receive it. I hope the dish tech can get it installed properly.

You all have been a great help. I will get the 36" dish instead of the 31" So the link below is all the channels that can be picked up if the dish is pointed to 97W? So all i have to do is tell the installer to point the dish to 97W and he will know what to do? http://ftalist.com/arabic.htm...

so will the 36" dish make that much of a difference for pointing it to 97W. all i want are the arabic channels. or will the 31" be sufficient?

so the signal will come in stronger or will i get more channels? Will these dish fit well on the roof? are they only meant to be mounted on the lawn?

Will the 36" dish do anything better? they said it can be upgraded for $20 more. How are the motorized systems, are they that much better? can they pick up every satellite?

ICEBerg, thanks for making it clear. Appreciate that attachment. So really all i need is to point it to 97W to get all those arabic channels and more. Now do the dish themselves come in anything smaller than a 30inches? lol i already have dishnetwork, i think they come in 18inches, will those...

Thanks for the info, i will start looking more into it. So just get a basic system, as long as the dish is pointed at 97.0°W Galaxy 19 Ku i should be able to pick up plenty of arabic channels? I am looking at Sadoun site IceBurg, its recommending to get the S-1 system for $175. thats a good...

Hello, i am new to forum, i have been reading a little and want to know if someone can answer me a quick question. I live in Virginia, I want to know if its possible to pick up Arabic Channels or Middle Eastern Channels? If so, whats the basic satellite system that will provide that, or will all...

Thanks for all the information everyone. When i receiver the package, i will go ahead and do the installation and update you all how its coming. How long should it usually take to get everything up and ready, this will be my first time. Can i keep the OTA antenna on the roof for local channels...

So I will have to manually set the dish on the roof to the South satellite? what is USALS? Does the transponder usually comes with the FTA satellite packages?
