If you had to only pick one (because there are a few out there), I'd go with 91W.

Yep. 91 or 99 IMHO. 91 is a more 'open' source. 99 for a 'slender cut' of sources. If only one I'd go with 91. Put a switch and 2 lnb's and get 'em both?

103 and 72w but 91 is far the best for feeds.Dan rose

Depends what size dish you have. Under 1meter, 91W (since the newsfeeds there are easier to receive on slightly smaller dishes). Over 1 meter, 99W since there are way more newsfeeds there but are harder to receive without a slightly larger dish.

Go back and forth between 91W and 99W until you find the one you like best.

This is best idea. 8-degree separation should be a piece of cake.

If you can add a 4 LNBF Mount and add 97W for a little variety along with 72W, 89W, 91W, 99W and, 103W. This would be a good setup for basic news feeds for a non motor multi room setup.

Pretty tough to get 89W and 91W on same dish without motor. I've tried 2-degree separation of satellites and failed.
