    90cm is the minimum you are suggesting to pull off Globecast, if i am trying to pull off normal stuff, ie FTA to pick up satellite signals from WY, or the other stuff I see on Lyngsat how big should I go? Is the 90cm just because it's Globecast, or because I am in seattle?

    figured arabsat wouldnt be available with me being in Seattle. If I were to nab a receiver off ebay, would any FTA dish 80cm 90cm be able to pull it off, or would I need the "eliptical" dish? Sound retarded, until I get it mounted and then.... I'm sorry you got the wrong dish :)

    I'm just currious... because when I go to lyngsat it says STN should be an FTA according to Arabsat2c. Now I live in Seattle, and don't think I should be able to pull that Sat. I'm been himmin and hawin but no buyin'. Thinking to go 1meter dish, and maybe a DVR set up with USALs. Also...

    thanks shawn... what kind of lifespan do the motors have any ways? Right now I'm in a condo, have Dishnetwork set up, gitting rid of it, as I also currently am running comcast. as far as the location I have the dish set up would use that as my basis for running an FTA dish. Now I also am...

    I work for a Telco, and we do the same things for cell phones, but really the issue for this receiver would be encryption, and the Conditional (Cam) card would give me permission to use the service. And if I do have a Cam'd receiver would not that mean I could use it for stuff that the machine...

    as well if I went with a motorized system as opposed to a stationary t-90 would only be able to use one satellite at a time. With a t-90 would I not be able use 2 sats at a time? Install wise, would the t90 be a monster to install or a motorized system be easier?

    Just curious why the number #6 and not the #7. Number 7 says it's got a nagra slot, number 6 does not. Does that mean it will decode it automatically... NOT REFERING TO HIJACKING... i'm looking at if I get a globecast with a card....

    Sadoun has a link where I could get the Fortec Ultra and a T90 for 329.00 If I order just a receiver at about 120 from Globecast could I independently control two tv's, and use the access card on the Fortec, and use the Globecast as the 2nd tv? The only reason to get the globecast is if STN is...

    if you were a bettin' man... what kind of period would you guess... My thinking is this buy a full fledge FTA setup and then just pickup a Globecast FTA when if it goes PPV, of course if my receiver never tells me it's encrypted I would never know right?

    where would I find it as an FTA out of the Seattle area? If I can get it for free I obviously don't want to pay. And if I can have a choice in recievers I don't want to be stuck on a proprietary. I have not found it in the FTA lists... Any help?

    like I said not trying to hack, or do something illegal. When I had called up one of the satellite sales companies i.e. sandoun, satteliterus.... they said that STN was going to be an FTA. If it's going to be an FTA I would rather get a different receiver, setup. STN is supposed to be...

    I am looking at getting Satellite for 1 channel. Anything extra is gravy. My wife is from Somalia, and sometime this month STN is supposed to be launched, and carried by Globecast. I contacted Globecast and they said I have to use their equiptment in order to pay for their service, but it's...
