Ok I'm not sure, how exactly to do this and where, located I know I can get all or least 61-119. I'm not sire if I can get 121 & 129, but assumuing I can what will I need? I was think of doing it this way if possible.
I'll be using BEV dishes/LNBS/switches to try this.
Now I no longer have BEV but assuming I go back I'd like to try this?
61.5 Dish HD(I believe I would have to get or hopefully get the New Yprk HDs since I have the New York SD nets. Now this is assuming I'm in this so-called "spot bea," not sure I am or not.
& using a BEV 20" Dual Dish
72.5 BEV when up and in use(assuming I will be getting channels from here.
82 & 91 This I know you can use a 20" Dual Dish
110 & 119 presently in use with 2 24" Dishes one at 110 the other at 119 with a SW 44 switch.
121 & 129 Dish Assuming I will be getting channels from here, what size Dish will I need? Will a BEV dual 20" Dish work? What LNBS do I need? I heard 121 is not DBS, so what type of LNB would I need?
As fopor switches I no I need a SW 64 Switch for 72.5,82.5 & 91, but assuming BEV uses 129 as well what type of switch will I need?
The same for SDish presentlyusing SW 44 Switch but with 61.5,110,119,121,129 what type of Switch will I need?
Note: I want to use switches rather the those 'soecial LNBS?
Also is 101 a Dish sat or DTV sat? If so whats on this sat?

Tom ya gotta quit thinking 
as noted above you can't mix Bell & Dish on the same box or switches. So IF (key word is IF) Bell does get 72.5 up then just use the equivalent of a Dish 1000. That would get 3 satellite spots and with a DP34 switch 4 receivers and extra switches can be added.
As for Dish
61.5 & 129 carries the HD....129 doesn't work in Canada. Hell it barely works in the US
) then you need 110/118.7/119/61.5. The only thing right now for 118.7 is a Dish500+ or Dish1000+ Then you'd HAVE to go DishPro
-one cable from each satellite spot to the switch...so you'd have 3 cables going to the switch instead of 6
-switches can be cascaded easily. DP34 switches allow 3 inputs 4 outputs and can be cascaded for 8 even 12 recievers
-get a DPP44+ switch and dual tuner boxes only need one cable
If you are using 2 receivers and 2 satellites then Legacy equipment (SW44, SW64) works fine. BUt if you are going beyond that, switch to DishPro. MUCH easier

As for Dish
121 is dead. Dish stripped everything off of it because you needed a bigger dish. Same with 105. Those channels are gone and moved to other spots
61.5 & 129 carries the HD....129 doesn't work in Canada. Hell it barely works in the US
IF you want to try this, don't use Bell crap. Its recycled Dish crap. Go DishPro. Much easier
OK
OK. NY spots won't hit Ottawa. They don't even hit western NY. National HD is there (61.5)
IF Bell goes with 72.5/82/91 (who knows if they will), my god get a equivalent of a Dish 1000. 3 LNB's seeing 3 sats and you can hook 4 receivers to it using one switch.
yeesh..if you must use the SW44 then fine. I'd upgrade both LNB's to DishPro and get a DP44 switch. Then you can use 4 satellites and if you upgrade the Dish box to HD dual tuner then you can use just one cable for both tuners
see above. 121 is dead. Everything is stripped off of there. All that was on there recently was locals but those moved to 129 or 110. 129 won't work in Ottawa and has the same HD as 61.5 does
Why would Bell use 129? I could see 72.5/82/91 and again if you must feel the need to stay with Legacy switches (god knows why) then a SW64 would be what to use.
you don't need all of them. 110/119/61.5 would work with what you need for HD. UNless you need an International channel (greek package maybe?
) then you need 110/118.7/119/61.5. The only thing right now for 118.7 is a Dish500+ or Dish1000+ Then you'd HAVE to go DishPro Tom that makes no sense. Its not the LNB's that are "special". DishPro is the way to go for 3 reasons
-one cable from each satellite spot to the switch...so you'd have 3 cables going to the switch instead of 6
-switches can be cascaded easily. DP34 switches allow 3 inputs 4 outputs and can be cascaded for 8 even 12 recievers

Tom at one point had all 3 options he could have in Canada
ExpressVu and 8 boxes
StarChoice and I think 3 or 4 boxes
and as he use to put it, the Devil Ted Rogers (Rogers cable) who he is dancing with right now

Sorry guys should of been more clearer,
Yes I would be using Dish receivers for Dish and BEV receivers for BEV, it was more on how to get the signal wise. I know basically you need switches to get that many dishes.But it was how to point those dishes.
But I got my answers thanks guys for the info.
As for the spelling well two reasons
1) I have a visual disability (tunnel Glaucoma)
2) I should be using Check Spell but am sometimes just to lazy to use it. I know I know I should be using it.
TOM
No prob cuz, those things happen, you didn't know me so no biggie, no offence taken. Peace Up

This is what I had
BEV
8 receivers(this was before the 6 on one account came in)so was grandfathered. These are the receivers I gad over the 7 1/2 years that I had BEV:
2700
3100(4)
4100
4500
6000
6100
9200
SC(if I recall not sure on the modles)
410
411
201HD or what ever it was called but was sold earlier on.
Rogers(oresently)
3200(4)
8300HD PVR
Dish
3200(1)
thinking about upgrading to MPEG4 HD PVR & the MPEG 4 SD receiver(not sure of the modle number though).
I'm a tv fanatic.
As for programing I have the largest package with DISH "The Every tthing" expensive but well worth it.
You shpuld of sen me the first day Dish lite up
I was looking thru the IPG and about every 5 mins I kept check what the channels where.What this one, Whatsd that one and so on and so on.
You know you guys gon't know how lucky you gius have it(for tv) Be it Dish,DTV or cable the selection is unbelievable.
True there maybe a few good Canadian Channels but 95% of it is crap and the 5% that is good most of it shows US shows and programs.

Its all good Tom
I thought you'd have the Greek channels with Dish? )If I remember right that's what you had with Bell). Or do you get those with "the devil?"

Got those with the DEVIL LOL
Actually the ones with Rogers are
ANT-1(combo of the US/Canadian Vewrsion
ERT same as ANT-1
Mega I believe ids the same as the US version different owners
ANT1 & ERT iws run by some guy(father knew him real A$$ HO:E)
Mega I believe is run by Ethnic Group Or Ethnic Channels Group something like that,
And besides from my understanding the grek ones are nowe divide up between Dish & DTV, not exactly sure which is on which services(DTV & Dish)

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Hello folks, well my luck ran out last week with a nasty thunderstorm and after 39 years here, finally took a hit. Now, the FTA receivers I had for some years worked great until now. Recently picked up a fairly cheap receiver, online, KOQIT and seems to be good, but for the life of me, I cannot get the HDMI output to work with 3 of my Samsung monitors. I can hook it up to my Samsung TV and its HDMI input and it works fine. The 2 receivers I lost also worked fine with them, so am I going crazy? anyone have come across this or have any suggestions? And, since this is a somewhat cheap unit but works, what is everyone out there using for receivers these days? without breaking the bank? I enjoy watching FTA TV, so I will invest more if needed, what is a really good, detailed unit these days. I'm so use to watching a few of them HD channels. Right now I'm down to composite hookups, yuck! Any help or info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Frank

Take the cover off, show me pics of the board of the bad one and also the bottom of the board. I'm an old hardware electronics tech plus a satellite dealer; I fixed a lot of FTA and regular receivers. I may be able to fix it for you. And yes, they got hit by lightning; it's best to email me the pics at diamondsatellite@snet.net or call me at 203-232-8888. I give you a 50-50 chance of fixing it; I do have spare parts. my phone is a fliptop phoneHello folks, well my luck ran out last week with a nasty thunderstorm and after 39 years here, finally took a hit.

Seems like I remember that now, with my V9 I manually entered anyway on 105, easier for me to pick the channel later
IS Amiko MIRA 3 any good ???
Can you recommend the best to cover all bases. NO BEEPS on certain channels 101w (NEWSMAX ,NEWS NATION), a clock that keeps working STEADY for timed recording ,solid unit with good lifespan. My Amiko died AND my Linkbox has NO Favorites Button and BEEPS on many channels. Picking up 105 west with a NEW SHED IN THE Way with 6 foot Cband ..95 percent quality ...unbelievable.
