question on buying a unit

[raiden]

I am thinking about buying the one room system. I know I can set it up, as I setup my direct tv in the past. But I was wondering what other channels would I get if I bought a motor, and does that FTA receiver command the motor?

welcome

I am thinking about buying the one room system. I know I can set it up, as I setup my direct tv in the past. But I was wondering what other channels would I get if I bought a motor,

here is a list of 24/7 channels on KU

http://www.global-cm.net/MPEGlistKuBandUS.html

There are lots of sports & news feeds that pop up all the time

and does that FTA receiver command the motor?

the one room system receiver is a Fortec Mercury II which has blind scan (to finds the feeds that pop up) and will control a motor

Thanks for the information, Also should the standard dish that comes with this package be large enough to pick these other channel and audio feeds up?

A 36" (90 cm) dish is the recommended size for the majority of signals for KU band in North America. Some people go with a larger dish if they are located on the fringe of a satellite footprint or want better signal reliability in adverse conditions.

Dishes up to 39" / 1 meter are protected by FCC regulation for installation in HOAs, apartments, etc. Larger dish installs are subject to rules and regulations set by the HOA, city, property management.

Thanks for the info, I live in the sticks so size won't mater I just wanted to make sure I bought the best for my dollar, so a 36" it will be.
