Hi, I've recently gotten engaged to a Brazilian woman and I want to be able to let her watch her brazilian tv channels here in california.
From what I've read, I'll need a CBand dish of at least 8 feet in order to pull in the signal from 70W Brasilsat 1. Seeing as that's the case, I'm looking into buying the Fortec 240cm dish C-Band with an invacom quad lnb (k-band) and BSC621 ku/C band LNBF. For my receiver I'll be using a Viewsat Xtreme.
I'm wondering if this setup is what I need or if I've left some details out? I'm aware I'll need a 4x1 Disecq (sp?) switch as well and a mount for the large dish. TheSatelliteShop.net sells the Fortec 240cm with Polar Mount for 449, that seems a bit pricey, but if that's the best deal so be it. Do I really need the mount or not? We live in an apartment, so it might be weird to setup a large dish in such a situation. Although, we're moving soon and we may live in a house, then we'd be able to use the backyard as we see fit.
In any case, will I be able to access satellites 70W, 101W, 110W, and 119W using the 240cm Fortec Dish and the 4x1 Disceq? Also, how much would installation of the C Band dish cost me do you think?
Thanks!
