Lots of local dishes! I live in Cairo, GA and there are a lot of un-used dishes in the area. Not so many BUD's around any more and the few that are left are in bad shape. There are till alot of Primestar dishes left over from 20 years ago. Some in very good shape and some in parts. There are 2...

Thanks for the suggestions. I live in SW Georgia at 84 West. 30 West might be a problem as I am somewhat tree-challenged at this location. I do have a large Primestar dish to work with so I will give it a try.

What would be the best single Ku satellite to use for spanish programs? I have Univision and Telemundo on cable but I am not too crazy about the programming on these channels. Thanks for your suggestions.

I want to win! I want to win! Please help me in my battle against offending trees.

Thanks Ice', Well that's good news for me. Adding 22.75 to 56.4 degrees just might clear the treetops in this instance. There may be some hope of getting some RTN from G10R after all.

Hello All, I am about to do my first installation and I have a couple of questions. My site has a lot of trees to the south and west. I will be using a Fortec 80 cm dish to get BYU-TV on Galaxy 28. This is 5 degrees west of due south at my location. I have searched my property and found the...
