I am a big time college football fan.
Can anyone tell me which birds are hot for live feeds/games.
Thanks!

SBS6 is one of the big ones
G11, AMC5, AMC3, IA8 are other good ones
AMC2 I think has some too but that satellite is tougher to get on the border states (MN, WI, FL, TX, etc)
if you don't have an analog box, I highly suggest getting one. the old C/KU boxes work really good

Iceberg is right (as usual
), SBS 6 is loaded with college games every Saturday, Jefferson Polit uses it, ESPN Plus uses G3 and G4 and ABC on IA(T) 6, plus what he noted. At least that's were they were last year. These are just C and Ku analog, DVB has a lot also.!!!!!!GO IRISH!!!!!!

Cool, thanks guys!
I actually have an old uniden C/Ku analog receiver.
Will definitely check it out!
GO BUCKEYES!
I always get nervous when they play Minnesota at Minnesota.
Glen Mason wanted the OSU job.

I haven't seen any of those in years, except the one in my backyard. The only thing I can say is cruise around and see if you can come across one that's not in use and ask if the owner (not me) is willing to part with it. Chances are if it's not in use they will let you have it with the magic word attached to it, free.

"That is one beautiful dish"
Thank you, kinda chokes you up doesn't it.
yes it does....next time I go to Indiana I have to swing by and find that dish
(note to self...bring U-Haul and lots of wrenches...oh and a power saw

I'm a displaced Big Ten fan living in the Mid-Atlantic...can't tell you how bad the football coverage is in this part of the country: Virginia, VA Tech, Duke, Clemson, Maryland, Wake Forrest, etc...el stinko! Quite often, ABC's national coverage doesn't broadcast the good games down past PA.
I've looked into FTA, but so far only ESPN's GamePlan has been able to provide my College Football fix.

It is a beautiful dish, but it could be better. Now if it were spun aluminum and Cassegrain well that's just about as close to perfection as it gets.
OK, so really dumb question.
I've got a 36" dish, Fortec Platinum NA receiver (that I am NOT trying to hack, thank you very much), Stab HH90 and Invacom Universal LNBF - could I get a cheap analog Ku receiver and ... not sure what the proper terminology is ... chain them together? How would I move the motor?
I too got the dish for Persian programming (for the wife, my Farsi is rudimentary and horrible) and random stations around the country to watch local-area football games ... Come Saturdays in fall we're going to have to fight for the receiver.

Check on ebay for older c/ku receivers. There out there.
Won't part with mine.
I think Ohio State will be puttin' the hurt on whoever they play, provided that the defense is in order. That's the big ?
Go Buckeyes!

Yes you can loop them together. Get an analog box on E-bay (C/KU boxes are the best).
You use the “loop out” of the DVB box (your current receiver) and loop that to the in on the analog box. The analog box gets the same polarity as the DVB box but it works great

C/KU Receiver
On fleabay go to consumer electronics, then click satellite, then ckich standard receivers, and in the search box (check title and description) type Uniden. You'll find a couple of "oldies but goodies" listed for fairly resonable prices.
Hope this helps.

Diamond Jim you are a good moral man. I think old Lloyd Card may be on the "hot seat" this year.
