According to eyeinthesky's FTA channel list there are tons of local stations on GALAXY 4R and 10R. These stations are marked CDVB and others are marked 75+. What does this mean? Are they all available with a basic FTA MPEG system?

Thanks in advance (and sorry in advance if this is a dumb question)
 
C DVB means you need a C band dish (6 foot plus), and a DVB reciever

75+ means you need a 75cm Ku dish or bigger.

For example, CCTV4 is available on G3C Ku and PAS9 C-band..

Now, for weaker Ku transponders, they have them labeled as 90+, meaning a 90cm dish or bigger.

EDIT: looks like they have C DIG on there as well, which I believe means C-band DigicipherII (such as a 4DTV system)
