I have a cnx duo and Pansat 3500SD i want to set them up for Sats Intelsat 805 and Intelsat 3R (PAS 3R right?), my dish outside is a dishpro. Is it okay or do i need a need dish? I would truly appreciate your help.

Yep you need a bigger dish. Depending on what you want to see on those sats, if they're ku you may just need a 1m dish, if the signals you want are c-band you need a big dish (prob 8' at least for those). DN dishes are really only good for getting those high-powered birds that dish uses.
What would you recomend that's cheap and most important easy to install. Thank you for your assistance:tux:
I suggest checking with some of the sponsors, top of the page here. They have dishes, receivers, or complete systems. Since you don't say what you want to pick up from those sats, whether they are c-band or ku, I can't answer your question. I cannot receive those satellites at my location.
If you can find an old Primestar dish around in somebody's yard, they likely will let you have it for free. Those work great for FTA.
I see your interested in the Latin American channels , where are you currently located ( city, state , country ) , both of those satellites have a low elevation and you will definitely need to have good LOS anyway you look at it , so hopefully you don't have trees or buildings in the way.
Once you figure out if you can get those satellites then you can start shopping , I looked at the EIRP values on Intelsat 805 and it looks like you might be able to get away with a 180 cm dish.
