    [Traxis] Good signals-no channels

    A Dish Network dish is pointed to a Dish Network Satellite, to get Dish Network - which you have to subscribe. FTA channels are on other Satellites, which you need a larger Dish, and different LNB.

    The most basic, stupid question.

    "The next closest thing would be Galaxy 3C which does have C-band on it." Perfect.

    Start at your Southern-most Sat - looks to be 99 west- it has nice full-time phat c-band transponders. Install LNBF so that it's Zero Marking is at 12 o'clock to the Dish.
