Since I cant post in any of the other FTA forums, I am forced to ask here.
I want to setup a dish to get AMC3, to pull in PBS-HD. I am in Southwestern Michigan, zip 49099. I have a clear line of sight to the satellite, and am curious if there is any way to know what kind of signal I would get, and what size of dish would yield that signal?
Example, could I get by with a dish500 dish, dish1000, 18", 26" (dbs dishes)? I'm not interested really in moving to pick up other sats, as I only care about HD, and the only other HD channel I saw listed at lyngsat (that was ITC) was the M Movie HD channels, but I cant believe thats really ITC. I just want higher bitrate PBS-HD, as my OTA and cable PBS channels max out at 11.7mbps. Horrendous!!!!
I looked at the EIRP maps of AMC3, and it appears I am in a "48" area on the map, with 49 being the highest listed.
Any help would be appreciated....
