    Two single LBN's on same dish, same sat

    Okay, I've got a bunch of single LNB's and not a single twin output LNB. My question is this. Is it possible to put two single LNB's on the same dish to receive the same sat? I want a single dish, two receiver hookup but the thing is I got almost a 100 single LNB's, so if this is a possibility...

    Is AMC 4 still operational?

    Since I am in the southern Caribbean I'm out of Ses1 footprint. Can anyone confirm that AMC 4 KU is still operational? Any info on when it's shutting down? Thanks!

    Reception without a dish - just the LNB

    Let's assume you're located within a really strong area of a footprint and the weather is superb. Would it be possible to just point the LNB at the satellite and receive enough quality to watch tv? I have a setup with a 30 cm dish and the signal is strong. Could I just do away with the dish...

    Looking for a Dutch channel

    Hi guys, I live in the lower Caribbean and I'm interested in any Dutch language channel. I know of BVN which is available on Satmex 6 and AMC 4. However, I know that there's more, because my local cable company somehow gets hold of three additional channels called Nederland 1, 2 and 3. I don't...

    cannot lock on low symbol rates

    Hi there, I have several FTA boxes, nothing special. A Topfield 5050i and a Showbox 500. They're set up for Galaxy 19, 97W. Vertically polarized transponders are noticeably weaker on my set than the horizontal ones. Low symbol rates (i.e. xxxx four digit) are impossible for me to receive...

    Hello to all, I am fairly new to the world of FTA. I live on a tiny island in the Caribbean called Curacao. It is located just off the northern coast of Venezuela and it's the sister island of Aruba. I was wondering if any of you are located in my region and which birds are available to you...
