AMC1 in Costa Rica

[clarkjwc]

Before I make any purchases, can someone please
check AMC1 and let me know if the Denver 8 locals are still FTA?

My wife insists she need to see her Broncos and SKY-Mexico with NFL Sunday ticket is costing me an arm & keg. No Denver locals on Dish 119w, and can't get 129w Denver spots even with 6'x9' here.

I'm thinking a 10 foot C Band on AMC1 may be the best solution.

Comments?

Denver 8 haven't been FTA

You need a 4DTV and a 10 foot dish to get the Denver stations...if the footprint reaches it

doesnt look like the footprint reaches there without a HUGE dish

Thanks Iceberg. C Band 10 foot, isn't this the norm?
I need to go read about 4DTV.

Not for Costa Rica - or so I've been told. I've been told that even Dish Network requires an 8 foot dish but I've been seeing a lot smaller dishes than that while traveling around Costa Rica. But, most of them say DirecTV on them. They're about 3 foot dishes - but I have seen some smaller ones. I have seen a few larger antennas that are between 10 and 20 feet in diameter but I don't know if they're being used for C-band.
