help with setting up a channel on dishnetwork dish

[cricketcrazy]

I have this information for a channel Satellite: Intelsat 10, Band -C
Downlink Frequency: 4126.05 Mhz
Symbol rate: 3255 Ks/s
FEC: 3/4
Polarization: Horizontal

I need help to setup this channel on my dish network dish so that i can view it. I'm new to this stuff and would really appreciate some help.

:yikes

What's a C-band channel?
It's a channel using the frequencies that used to be the only game in town for satellites. C-band signals are weaker, so you need the huge (6-foot or larger) dishes to receive them. There's nothing wrong with big dishes, but they're more complicated to set up and they're restricted from more areas.

Intelsat is on the other side of the globe. Moving this to the FTA section.

Ain't gonna happen.

Depends on what side of the globe this person is. Echostar makes FTA receivers in Europe too.

Where are you located? Country, at least.

Here is the Intelsat 10 @ 68.5º E info, and there is no such FTA service as you describe, that I can see.
Further, here is a map for the part of the world, where you might get a signal from that bird.

Perhaps you mean Intelsat 10-02 @ 1º W?
I don't see the transponder there that you referred to, and this bird is listed as circular not linear polarization.
You can click on the above link to see coverage maps for this satellite.

Maybe you are talking about some undocumented service?
I have no idea. Can I buy a clue?

Also, in North America, no product that I'm aware of with the Dish Network name on it, will receive C-band.
And certainly none of their little dishes.
