You have to look under programming / alacarts. If you can't do a C band dish it don't help. A six foot would work but nothing smaller.

Thanks tvropro, i guess it won't happen for me just yet. I will just pay $16 to time warner, or look for another way to get it, or wait for it to become FTA...

The thing that's killing me, all the channels in $16 plan is available FTA, most of them in HD, so if I go with TWC, I would actually be paying $16 for Food Network.

Thanks again for all your help, I guess there isn't much else I can grab off my Ku dish.

For your cable price for a month. Im getting the whole Scripps pkg for 3 months. You gotta get a big dish opens up the world.

Great, that gives me a pretty good idea. What is your suggested receiver?

If your going with the polor mount and actuator and want to move the dish (best bet) get a DSR-922. There is one for sale in the 4DTV section today:

This is really cool. Which satellite would I have to point to get your Scripps package? Living in a dense city, I have to make sure I have a clear view.
OK, I saw it

Where is the T7 satellite?
Recently the T7 satellite moved to 121°, which is now East of the G0 satellite. To program in T7 at its new location, first point at G0 satellite verify reception on one of your G0 channels. Switch to channel 21, and press Options, 6, 4, 4, and highlight the T7 satellite and press enter. When you bring up the screen that has “Move dish to xxxx” you’ll need to highlight the dish position number on the second line, and decrease it by around 20 or 30 you should start to see a picture come in after you do this you may have to highlight autopeak skew and press enter if you have a signal around 60-100 without a picture. Once you have a good picture you’ll need to press “GO BACK” and then “ENTER” to save it into memory.

According to dishpointer, I may have a problem with T7.

This is my current setup, with 97W, I have the clearance, as max height is 60, and as per my calculation the building was about 50ft high:

However with T7 it says max height is 46.7ft, which will block my view, even though it is pointed to the far end of the building.

Scripps is on C3 (AMC 11)

Transponder 9 I have my dish living in Chicago on a tall pole alongside my garage and have a clear view of 143W to 43W.

You can see a snapshot of the Food Network master in my photo gallery:

tvroprop,
I was really excited when I saw that it was all the way on 131*W, since it would mean pointing past the building, therefore avoiding any obstacle, unfortunately the elevation is way lower than my 97*.

I see that there is FoodTV on 135*W too, but elevation is even lower!

And I don't see food on any other listing on LyngSat.

PS: How could you mount your C-Band dish on a pole? Isn't Chicago windy enough as it is!? For me to clear the tall building, I would probably need a poll over 12'.
