I've been doing some research on getting into FTA, and I've found most of the content I'd like to view is on Ku Band through AMC 21 (125.0 W) and Galaxy 19 (97.0 W). I'm in Central Texas so does anyone know if these are close enough that I can pick them up using a stationary multi-LNB dish (without using a motor)?

Thanks --

I don't see why you couldn't. All dishes are stationary when they are not being moved. I see no difference in a dish with no motor pointed at a satellite and one pointed at it that does have a motor.
 
If you have 2 dishes then its a no brainer.....but as for "can I get 125W and 97W on one dish" unless you have a Toroidal dish or a huge dish for multifeed as Lak7 noted the answer is no. The regular dishes cannot.
