[gaby]

I'm looking to buy this receiver.
is there any one who knows about this sytem?

 

[Mr Tony]

moved to correct forum

 

[Mr Tony]

What did you want to know about it?

What do you currently have for dish/LNB/motor or are you buying that too?

 

[gaby]

I do have the dish network dish 500

 

[gaby]

do I need to use any of the dish network equipments

 

[mastermesh]

It's a good box. That's what I have. The fact that it's got am sd card is very nice because it allows you to save your channels and stuff on to a card that you can move between your box and your computer for fast editing in channel master - some other boxes require you to hook up a physical wire to the back of the box. Also, using that sd card you can play mp3s.

 

[Mr Tony]

what do you plan on picking up with it??

 

[Mr Tony]

do I need to use any of the dish network equipments

Is there specific programming you are looking to get?

Iceberg
do you have any answer for me?

 

[gaby]

there is some channel that you can get only through disch network.
can I get these channels?

 

[Mr Tony]

a Dish500 wont work for 99% of the chanenls out there. For FTA you need a 30" dish or larger and a KU Band LNB

 

[gaby]

I don 't even the kind of channels I'll be expecting to get

 

[PSB]

So you bought a satellite system and you do not know what channels you want to get or on what satellites they will be?

 

[gaby]

how about the super dish?

 

[gaby]

I'm new to this satellite world and I'm trying to get the pansat 3500SD and see what I can get with.

 

[PSB]

Not answering PM or pager messages, gabby is not very gabby!

with the super dish, I mean if I put the super dish, would it be better for the channels?

 

[Mr Tony]

A Superdish really doesn't work either for FTA

are you trying to get free tv from Dish or ExpressVu?

no. SD is too small for FTA

 

[gaby]
