is this a good starter system

[jmc98]

.3 Ku World System is this a good system for a newbie in fta, and can you run a multiple box fta system

 

[SatinKzo]

Link to system?

Alright, that's 2 people now with that weird sig. Where you guys getting it from?

 

[qwert1515]

I think he's talking about this - Skyvision

 

[Mr Tony]

seems high and there is no receiver included

 

[SatinKzo]

Ah, well if that the system the it's basically what I started with, minus the Invacom.
Price seems a bit high IMO.

I think our sponsors or Sadoun Satellite Sales can get you a better price, with a receiver.

 

[jmc98]

any suggestion for a starter system that can take multiple recievers?

 

[qwert1515]

One problem with two receivers to the same dish on a motor is only one receiver will be able to control the motor.

 

[Sadoun]

Fortec (a sponsor here) makes good receivers with high performance and quality. I recommend the S-1 system for you. It is an excellent start-up system with excellent capabilities (Blind Search, easy Menu, good user interface, favorite lits, etc)

What c band and fta can be received in Fort Worth TX with MC-2 setup

 

[Mr Tony]

C-Band side
http://www.global-cm.net/MPEGlistCBandUS.html

KU side
http://www.global-cm.net/MPEGlistKuBandUS.html

Those are just channels 24/7...there are also lots of feeds which just pop up for a sporting event or a newscast

 

[jmc98]

a 6ft c band dish will suffice for my location(Fort Worth Tx)

 

[Mr Tony]

for most of the channels yeah. I use one on the opposite border (Minnesota) and it works pretty well

You won't get much C-band, if any, with a 31' dish. You would also need a C-band lnbf.

Ooops.... Sorry, I was looking at the M-2 package, now I see it's the MC-2 package with a 6' dish. My mistake!

 

[jmc98]

can a 6ft dish be used with 4dtv

 

[voomvoom]

can a 6ft dish be used with 4dtv

Yes you can, at least with the ku stuff on X4/G16. It will probably work with at least some C-band, but probably not much, and I wouldn't hold my breath for any of it.

[Mr Tony]

it will work with some of the 4DTV stuff but in some cases you have to be balls on for a signal. Alot of the movie channels have a FEC of 7/8 which the 6 foot dish barely can keep stable. But I have used it and have seen respectable results on the free C-band stuff (and it allowed me to download the maps)
