Viacast and a 18" dish

[cucan]

can i get AMC 10 & 11 with a 18" dish300 or 500 and a viacast 1500 if not what will i need....
thanks for the help

 

[Mr Tony]

um...a little bigger dish...like a 8 foot

Those satellites are C-band and you need at LEAST a 5 footer...I'd shoot for a 8 footer

 

[cucan]

LOL ok i have a BUD with a c-band not a ku can i make this lnbf work on it thanks.......

 

[Mr Tony]

oh, didnt know you had a BUD

AMC10 and 11 are C-band only so you dont need KU

For KU operation, you would need a Linear KU band LNBF (not one that is on Dish/DirecTV dishes...those are circular)
