Is there anything else on fta tv like EBRU? Although I don't have a fta system up yet, I've looked at some of the programs and thought EBRU looked interesting. Just curious.

Interesting photo Elchucko. Kinda sort of how I thought it might look. Thanks

Interesting stuff Cham.... What is ISS?

Oh, I like that last line about not being able to swing the dish fast enough! LOL! Maybe aiming straight up is for the "mother ship." LOL! Thanks.

Yea, Alaska with Indonesia, ooh that's hillarious! LOL! But you just might be right!

Ok. Like I said, I don't usually watch the major networks but since I'm in the mountains and haven't had TV for a long time, I didn't quite know what to expect. Thanks for the feed back and have a good evening.

I have the DISH "smart pack" and was wondering if all "local programs" really air or might some have been eliminated. I ask this because while looking at their evening program listings, it "seems" a bit short. For example, the morning news is there, then perhaps a couple more programs, then...

Yea, during my conversation with the "DISH man," he mentioned that folks in Alaska aimed their dishes straight up which sort of confused me. I though that if most birds were in equatorial orbits, folks in Alaska would kinda sorta need to aim their dishes relatively low. Anyway, that was what...

Can someone out there please describe "conceptually" how both FTA as well as DISH and Direct satellites are positioned in the sky? I had thought that all these birds were in a geosynchonis orbit around the equator but recently, a DISH installer indicated that there were many other...

Good idea and thanks again.

Thanks 77TA.

"Carried it home from the post office"?! What the heck did you transport it in? Was it new and in a box? Enlighten me 77A.

Glover, Raoul5788, Richyrich, Toucan-man, Primestar31, My sincere thanks for all your feed back and an apology for getting back so late... After much consideration however, I've decided to "pay the man" and get a basic subscription to DISH. The winter here has been frigid and not conducive...

What in your estimation would be the smallest functional C band dish and what approximately do you think the weight of that animal might be? Just thinking ahead...... If I did find one that someone might want to let go for a reasonable price, I'd probably need to man handle it myself. So, I...

I've seen a few in my area and would love to find out if they're still in use.

SGS, Sorry for the late response but thank you for the clarification.

Food for thought, especially after my DISH subscription ends. Thanks to all responders again.

OK, much appreciated rong44! I'll see what the DISH man says next week. Have a good day.

David_Jr, I just looked at dishpointer.com and if the long green line originating from the green sat icon is any indication as to the direct azimuth to the bird in the sky, then I should be OK. Can you tell me if the green line is the azimuth direction indicator?

David_Jr and everyone else who responded, My sincere thanks to everyone who responded! This information is very much appreciated! I'll just wait until next week and cross my fingers that I can get the dish mounted in a good spot. Thanks again!

What's the likelyhood of C band going away any time soon?

Can someone explain why there seems to be much greater variety in the types of programs aired on C Vs KU band? I was under the impression that C band was obsolete and that KU was "sort of" like a replacement. On the other hand, it seems like quite a few folks on here imply that C Band has much...

Hello Dvrexpander, Your info is very helpful since I've never dealt with sat tv. That said, I assume that the DISH bird is some where in the southern sky, right? I ask because my house is on a ledge up in a mountain valley with a pretty good exposure to the south east all the way over to the...

Dish People, Thanks again for all the advice! I'll cross my fingers and hope that the install will go well and where I want it. It won't happen until next week since heavy snow and bitter cold is predicted tomorrow. This is a great forum!

Claude / Timberwolf, Thanks for getting back to me! Your responces have given me an idea of what to expect. I'll cross my fingers and hope they'll install the dish on my house in the location that I chose. Thanks again.
