recommendations on receaver

[jamescbarrow]

hello all i need recommendations on a free to air satellite, for ku band and c band down the road.

The MicroHD from SatelliteAV is due out this month and has been designed on this forum. There is a thread here but I have not yet figured out how to link to it. I believe it will be the best bang-for-the-buck, and the support will be on this website.

ok thanks, are there any decent channels on free to air, i have a friend thats debating on it all he has now is a ota antenna.

The quick answer is, "Yes! Absolutely! Of course!" This whole forum exists because there is so much super 'stuff' to receive. HOWEVER, what I like may be of no interest to you. Read the posts and "The List". And it does depend on what you are looking for. For our house, FTA totally replaced cable and subscription services for all our TV viewing. For many others, it is just a hobby.

ok, mainly what is is wanting was channels like mytv, the channels that plays the older shows.

Think the channel you're asking about: 87W on C band. (10ft dish) Talk is it will be soon available on Ku.(36in dish) might be 89W. ((which we now know was a 4-1 joke)) (dish sizes just recommendations, some have success with smaller)
