Majority of C-band owners agree that there is more stuff on C-band than KU. If you can get a C-Band dish for free, by all means go for it.

What kind of receiver would I need to move it and I how would i know that i would be able to get the c-band satellites?

DO i need to get a site survey?

What kind of receiver would I need

Right now, I'd wait for the Geosat Pro MicroHD to be (shortly) released by SatelliteAV. Site sponsor, "card" on top of pages here. I'd also update the feed to a new style LNBF.

to move it

A G-Box or V-Box can interface with the receiver to move the dish. OR an old analog receiver can be implemented

DO i need to get a site survey?

Right now, the sun is very close to the satellite arc. If you have an area that's in full sunlight from sun up to sundown. That's where to put the dish(s). More accurately, use the Sun Outage Calculator and pin the time down.
