For most of the PBS? A Coolsat 4k/5k/6k and a Sonic Voom get me all the PBS EXCEPT the HD channels
depends
Montana PBS, V-Me, PBS World & Create are in SD so any receiver works
PBS E&W are in HD so you need a HD receiver

I'd just use the 39". That's what I'm using here and it works fine.
There is no old name for AMC21 as it's a new satellite. You'll have to add the satellite in your receiver. I believe that's done in the Dish Setup menu.

where do you live bro?i live in eastern canada,nfld on the west coast of the island.
Iceberg, isn't there a Louisiana PBS MUX on there too? I don't have an HD receiver so I cannot confirm.
I'm in Halifax. I'm heading your direction on the 29th of June. Taking the Vision over. Gotta leave at 3:30am to get to the terminal in North Sydney by 9am. Ugh.

Wife's family is in CBS/Mount Pearl/St. John's. We'll be there for a couple of weeks. Hoping to get some capelin if they're in while I'm there. Damn near froze my nuts off wading in the water with the net in hand last time I did that about ten years ago.
We drove over last summer for the first time. I loved the drive, especially along the west coast. Kids really enjoyed the ferry ride. Wife and I didn't enjoy getting them to bed in PAB at 11:30pm though. Can't wait to do it again. At least this time we'll get to the island at suppertime, this time around.
But back to the problem at hand. You shouldn't have any problem at all getting a 39" to work. It gets everything I want, on Ku at least. And you're not that much further east.
I've tried to deal with Hobby Corner but I could never, ever, get a quote out of them. They'd never return calls either. I've been to their place. Lots of dishes laying around and lots of receivers on the shelves so they're paying the bills with something. Just didn't seem interested in my money, when I had it. They knew that I was in touch with Fortec about a particular dish and that I knew they could get one from Fortec for me. They also knew that I could get the dish myself directly from Fortec. I'd rather have dealt with them. But then I found a free BUD. It all kinda became moot.
