non-DSS satellites

[ThomasRz]

I want to test my ability to pickup the satellites at 105/118.75/121. I think that each has a nonencrypted test transponder. Is that correct?? I have available the following equipment and would like suggestions on the best set up. I know that i will have to reorient the 105/121 dish but otherwise are theytechnicaly the same? 118.75 is fss but what is the polarization and what LNB is needed. thanks!

I would check www.lyngsat.com and search in posts here and at dbstalk.com; check for FTA mark - for sure FTA are 213 and a few 990x - slates with appropriate satellite number static picture. Posts from JohnH, myself and others about Uplink Activity.
