I am thinking about putting a BUD up in our yard this spring (we are in Toronto), for two reasons
1. to learn and play around with (hobby)
2. see what other channels are available that I can't get OTA
and the first satellite I would like to point it at galaxy 17, but I am getting conflicting reports about what channels will be available for free, lyngsat shows that I can get channels like FX, Fox sports, Fox Movies and a few others
Galaxy 17 at 91.0°W - LyngSat
while a recently updated pdf from skyvision shows like all I can get is the CW, but I can already get that one OTA
http://www.skyvision.com/pages/information_center/cbandFTA.pdf
If I am able to get the channels listed on lyngsat, then I am willing to put up the $$$ and buy new equipment (dish, receiver, lnb etc....) and do it all in one shot, but if I can't get those channels then I will most likely just try to scrounge together old used equipment that is cheap/free.
So my question is this: What channels are people getting from Galaxy 17?
Thanks
