Looking on the hack sites and getting ideas for receivers is not a good idea. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink ;)" data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></div>

</blockquote>You were smart to find this site and ask many questions and ask for advice. It would be real foolish not to follow this advice. The FTA world is full of useless hacker junk for receivers. Those of us that have been around for years have a closet full of receivers we liked the looks of. We want to save you some money and frustration by putting you on a good choice to begin with.</div>
<div class="bbWrapper">VS 9k only does QPSK, almost worthless to FTA these days. So much is S2 and 8psk or higher modulations. You might get less than a handful of stations on 97w Ku that most of us would watch, the rest are international/religious non-english language channels. If that's what you are looking for though the receiver will work at this time, but that will change as uplinkers switch to more efficient modes.<br />
One positive for this receiver is that it has ATSC for local broadcasting. If you don't already have a TV that receives the digital format, this would fill in that utility, plus the FTA it still gets.<br />
$60 used on ebay seems a bit steep though for this vintage of a receiver. Just my 1.5 cents worth. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><br />

The VS Max HD might be a better unit but a bit pricy.</div>

It's definitely an older unit but specs say, if correct, that it does DVB-S2 and MPEG4 along with having an ATSC tuner for antenna. Outputs are HDMI, component, composite and s-video. If I could get one <i>free or really</i> cheap I'd probably play around with it but don't think I'd invest $60 when you can get new Amiko Mini HD265 with US support for just over a hundred. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></div>

</blockquote> It does not do DVB-S2. I repeat it does not do DVB-S2. Even on 97w it will not get two HD channels that are now DVB-S2 (AL KASS TWO HD, and Oman HD). Buy what you want but the receivers that are recommended here are better receivers, than a 10 year old non current spec box. <br />

No consumer dish is shaped perfectly enough to distinguish between transponders at 22,400 miles.<br />
<br />
If you get some transponders great and others not so much, you've probably got a problem with electronics or wiring. I guess I should be careful not to assume (since, as .Raine pointed out, you haven't offered it) that your dish is or sufficient size and your LNB of the appropriate polarity and orientation to work with the satellite in question.
