Most viewable C-Band birds

Kinda hard to phrase this questions.

In your opinion, which satellite up there is worth getting?

This spring, the backyard is getting an overhaul.. move the shed, redo pool deck etc and where the dish will be tentatively installed,
I'll have a LOS from 58w to about 107w.

Questions is, is there anything below 58w or above 107w that am going to regret not getting?

Still going to keep a 39" on the side for 30w to 125w.

Cheers, K

I can get 43w on the east coast (west Virginia) to 139w Amc 8

I like 55, 40.5 and 30.

I like 55, 40.5 and 30.

What's on those three? Unfortunately as per my calc, the neighbours' roof will block its receptions.

CHEERS, K

That depends on your interests. I'd be unhappy if I couldn't see 137W any more, for those Alaska hockey games! If I were limited to 107 and east though I'd think 105W would be good , for the Nasa channels, and 101 for Me-TV. But lots of people can get Me-TV over the air now, I still like to watch via satellite.

I'm usually somewhere from 105w to 55W. But I'd have a hard time forgoing anything from 105 to 137W. If anything, I'd forgo the furthest eastern as most is foreign language. I'd shoot for all the domestic satellites, 72 to 137, minimum.
