Thanks!

OT - Any chance of getting both 127W and 79W on the same dish?? (I have an oval 36")

might as well chuck it. The DirecTV Sat C LNB takes 3 transponders (28,30,32) and converts them to TP 6,8,10. Its also a DBS LNB so it can't get the KU channels.

Darn....well, in that case, what is the "widest" range I can get with the dish? Thanks!

Can I safely sell it to prospective Dish/DTV subscribers on ebay?

I know of people who have been able to get 10 degree spread (74,79,83) but thats about it. The farther you go off centre the signal goes down.

Best to get a motor then

Wow...Thanks for the quick responses!!! Well do...guess I gotta figure out which ones I want since my wife frowns on me spending too much money on "something that I don't use much"......*sigh*.....

if you get a motor, you'll use it alot more than you think
