Starchoice and the Superdish

[1hodgkry]

Does anyone know if a SC receiver will work with a Dish Network "Superdish" (with a linear lnbf) south of the boarder? I am not sure of the size of the superdish, but I know it is much bigger than a standard 18" dish.

yes and no

depends on where you are in relation to the border. If you are in a state that borders Canada, then yes I would say it would work fine. But if you are closer to the "other" border I would say its too small. I've tried the smaller dishes for them (32x20) and they work pretty good in MN but a good rain will knock it out. I have a 30" dish aimed at F1 (main satellite)

Also the LNB is stacked so when you set up the programming via SC or a broker you would need to tell them its a stacked system...otherwise you wont get all the channels

Will this dish also work for SC HD programing ?

 

[Mr Tony]

For HD you need the 2LNB setup. SO this can be the 75e or 60e dish with the quad LNB or 2 separate dishes and some 22k switches

What is the size of the Superdish? It looks comparable to SC 75cm Dish. If so, would it get good reception in Utah? Thanks

 

[Mr Tony]

The SD is 36x20 and the 75e is 37x27

Also the SD would only get one satellite and the 75e has the LNB for btoh
