    Would this dish be suitable, and would my existing LNB work or should I secure a different one? FORTEC STAR 120cm 1.2m KU Band Offset Dish Antenna Model FC120CM has been replaced by the new WS1247 and WS1247M. This is perfect for KU and C Band satellites. The HH120 Motor is recommened to be...

    Thanks for all the advice. The delay in responding is because I have no internet where the dish is located. When entering the transponder code it also lists a Ks value.

    Thanks for the reply, my supplier here is useless. He has no info to give me. I should have known better because he told me he didn't know much about the unit. I purchased it in Canada from Angel electronics last month. Can you recommend a unit that does have North American, US satellites pre...
