    I see, nope, I am not an headend. Thanks for all the help everyone.

    OK guys, I may try this because I think I can just raise the dish about 5 feet high on a simple frame. Based on these two pages, I can probably get a signal on these two AMC4 and AMC18, more likely on AMC4. TV - Food Network - LyngSat Address AMC 4 (HITS Quantum) 101W TV - Food Network HD -...

    I would have to lose my 97 signal to check that. :( I know it sounds like I am lazy, but it took me really long time to get this signal right, and I already sold my signal meter. :o Is it possible to check it with DirecTV dish? I have two on my roof from previous tenants.

    If W5 is at 105W, it may or may not clear: Is DSR410 receiver? When I search for HITS, it seems like Comcast package, but there is no pricing/signup info.

    Things gets even more exciting as we dig deeper... I guess I will go back to Ku Band dishes and my existing receiver for now. It is a shame there aren't many other satellites that work with smaller dishes out there with good FTA channels.

    Thanks for the info Lak7. When looking at C-Band channels/satellites, how do I tell if the broadcast is 4DTV? Is it anything that says "Digicipher" (http://www.lyngsat.com/amc11.html) or is there any other encryption I should be looking for? I might try this C-Band stuff if I can catch a...

    tvropro, thanks for all your help and at least we tried... Meanwhile, I will be reviewing other satellites that I could possibly get a shot at. However, I still need to get another receiver if I need to get C-band broadcast, right?

    But his setup is not on a pole, it is flat on the roof, plus his roof is concrete, not tar like mine here: http://www.satelliteguys.us/free-air-fta-discussion/175392-setting-up-my-visionsat-4.html In order to get to any one of those I would have to rise it at least 10-15ft high. And with that...

    Wow, that is one big dish. :) My house is 100 years old, there is no way it can hold anything of this volume, the roof is just a flat tar roof. Unless I find another satellite that is at about same elevation as 97W, (which just clears the building) or on a different direction like 145* to 165*...

    tvroprop, I was really excited when I saw that it was all the way on 131*W, since it would mean pointing past the building, therefore avoiding any obstacle, unfortunately the elevation is way lower than my 97*. :( I see that there is FoodTV on 135*W too, but elevation is even lower! And I...

    This is really cool. Which satellite would I have to point to get your Scripps package? Living in a dense city, I have to make sure I have a clear view. OK, I saw it According to dishpointer, I may have a problem with T7. :( This is my current setup, with 97W, I have the clearance, as max...

    Thanks tvropro, i guess it won't happen for me just yet. I will just pay $16 to time warner, or look for another way to get it, or wait for it to become FTA... :) The thing that's killing me, all the channels in $16 plan is available FTA, most of them in HD, so if I go with TWC, I would actually...

    I don't know how you got the link for that package, it is not listed on their home page.. :) So I need one of those huge dishes to receive these channels. :( I live in a two family attached house, I don't think my roof can handle the C-Band dish. So there is no way for me to get Food Network...

    I found it, but it doesn't include Food Network. :( Programming Center offers only these Do-It-Yourself • Food Network E/W • Fine Living • Great American Country • HGTV E/W for $11.19 or $7.50 if paid annually. They do have nice packages, but for some reason some of those don't include Food. Do...

    tvropro Thank you so much for your answer. Where can I get more information about these subscription based plans on satellite? (Not Dish/DirecTV) Is it even possible to get my local channels over satellite somehow, or is there a receiver with built in OTA tuner? (is it ATS now?)

    Ahhh.. I see, thanks. I was planning to cancel my cable, and this is the only channel my wife watches regularly... It is available on basic cable, I might end up keeping that.
