Can I get any ABC network channels with some sort of C-band subscription?

I believe 99W has ABC for free. I am sure other sats have ABC programming if you scan.

I am not sure if 4DTV has ABC subs. Maybe someone with 4DTV can answer.

can I pick up 99W with KU?

no
you need C-Band for ABC

I think the ABC feed on 99W is on C-band. 99W is both C-band and Ku-band.

If you have a big dish (6 ft or bigger) then you can use a dual C and Ku LNBF such as the BSC621-2 made by DMSI to receive both C and Ku on the dish.

on C Band I have found 2 ABC channels, one @ 99 with horrible pixelation (ABC Aguadilla Puerto Rico) and another one @ 119 which is better quality but nothing to write home about (ABC Aurora, Colorado)

There is a HD ABC(although low sr) on that same sat I believe. Also there is an east coast and denver affliate available via 4dtv sub.

I just subbed to ABC from NPS ($3 per mo)

Greg Mueller, LOL I KNOW!! That's why I am trying to get some sort of ABC channel. I have to watch lost. ABC is the only channel that I can NOT get with my OTA rooftop antenna and I do not get cable out here where I live. So I guess I need to find a 4dtv receiver. How easy is it for the batteries in them to die? I know my Dad has a BUD that he doesn't use anymore and i'm pretty sure he should still have the receiver but since it has prob been unplugged for a while, will it still work? Thanks guys, this site is awesome!
