    2 new stations coming to Parkersburg, WV and Mid-Ohio valley

    Finally - Dish is a little bit behind on this one - I still don't understand why they do not label it as 18 which is their broadcast and station ID channel number.

    Dish / Gannett Dispute Settled! No Channel Removals!

    Can't you see what Gannett is trying to do - Dish is trying to protect the consumer from rate increases yet Gannett and others like them keep demanding more money. Enough is enough!!! I for one am sticking with Dish on this issue. In my opinion, OTA stations shouldn't get retrans fees anyway...

    I got a really good one on ebay for like $35 - it even came with coax and a rotator - In Freeport, FL I pick up all but one Panama City (Fox) local including CBS out of Dothan and I pick up many channels from Pensacola - Where you are at, you should pick up all Panama City locals and maybe even...

    Considering C & Ku Band System

    Hey guys - If I did wanna get both c-band and ku would the following be a good deal and would I get very many c-band sats? Keep in mind 6-ft is about as big as I really wanna get in my neighborhood here. Also for $60 more I can upgrade to a HD receiver. From Sadoun website: MC-1 Bundled...

    Considering C & Ku Band System

    Ok thank you - that is the much needed info I have been looking for - that DMX522 over at galaxy-marketing has .2db and it looks pretty good then. So I guess I will start with a either a 100cm or a 4ft offset dish and the DMX522 lnb. I have an old FTA receiver but I really wanna get a new one...

    Considering C & Ku Band System

    Thanks Auric - I see over at Galaxy Marketing that they have a linear one for $19.99 - and I see it only has 0.2db noise figure (GREAT!) and they say it has 0.0001% failure rate!!! Thank you!!

    Considering C & Ku Band System

    Ok so if i go both c band and ku then i prob should use round an 8 ft dish - if I go 39" dish and Ku only - will the Invacom circular/linear work good or should I stick with a universal linear since all that really appears to be on circular is dish which I already have as a sub and I am just...

    Considering C & Ku Band System

    Hey guys - thanks for the quick input - It almost sounds like putting up a c band dish would be a pain but who knows I might try anyway - also do u think that a 39" offset dish will pick up all my Ku band signals for my area - again I am in and around the Panama City, FL area. And if I do decide...

    Considering C & Ku Band System

    OK - I am considering installing a combination C Band and Ku Band System because I am looking at all the FTA locals available on C Band - Do I necessarily need a 6 ft dish with a combo LNB or could I get away with a 4 ft dish with a combo LNB - I am also looking at getting a HD receiver. I have...
