Kevin: Are you for real, or are you playing games? Most 13-year olds can talk the heads off us old geezers on technical stuff. Lots of people here to help you, but you need to do some reading on your own too.
When I was 6 I was building those things. Now days the LNB does all that for you on a single chip. The label on the LNB will hint or give you the LO frequency so you do not need to calculate it. There is a mixer in the LNB that changes the frequency into a standard range so you do not need a huge tuner in the receiver to get all bands. I was 56 when you were born .... and explaining things I have not had to work with since 1958 ---
Older versions of DVBDream are free and they function fine. Yes it is very good for recording.
I have the TBS6922 which is the TBS5922, but installed in the computer.
Your will also need either a C-band dish (10 ft dia is better) and C-band lnb.
or
a Ku-band dish (30" to 4') and Ku-band lnb.
or both.
Right.... Since you say that, I would soon buy it if I have anyone to help me put in the dish and the LNB, even the motor, which is gonna be a really big job.
From Phoenix, in theory if there are no man-made obstacles or hills/mountains in your line-of-sight, you could receive signals from satellites located at 37W through 172E longitude. But, those satellites must also be transmitting a signal with a footprint that covers your area. If you check your atlas, you'll see those satellites are well beyond the boundaries of the U.S. Anyway, all of these geosynchronous satellites are over the equator, so none are actually above the U.S.
You should get familiar with the satbeams.com website. It will teach you a lot about which satellite signals you can receive in your area.
I would do as much dish assembly as possible on the ground. I also wouldn't install a dish on the roof unless absolutely necessary to have line-of-sight to the satellites. Installing it at ground level is much preferred.
On Ku band, of those you mention, you can receive some NBC feeds, and an ABC affiliate on weekends only.
Look at The List by clicking here. Now click on a satellite and you will see what can be received from that satellite. For example, check the Ku band satellites at 83W, 87W, 95W, 97W, 101W, 103W, 125W, etc. But if the signal uses encryption, then you won't be able to see it because it is scrambled.
