Dish and LNB for receiver ?

[ftamania]

Hello- Brand new member here so please be patient. I want to install my own FTA satellite system to capture channels off of G19. Just about every FTA receiver I see online is being sold without a matching dish and LNB. How can I buy the correct dish and LNB for a receiver once I buy it online ? Many thanks.

Something like this right here is all you need ftamania.

That is just an example of what would be fine for Galaxy 19..I would not go any smaller than a 36" dish tho.What receiver are you looking at?

Thank you!! I don't have any specific receiver in mind yet. So is the dish sold with a matching LNB ? Or do I have to match the dish to the type of receiver I get ?

Here is a matched set that would serve you well:

They may have the same system available on eBay for less, would be worth checking for.

But something I would consider If I could go back knowing what I know now. I would get a receiver that can do both FTA and IPTV "free tv over the internet" as well.
Example of this is

I would also go with a 8ft minimum dish. But if all you want is galaxy 19 the above is all you need. Its essentially the same equipment that ke4est gave you a link for but a different receiver. It comes with the lnbf to answer your other question.

Welcome to satelliteguys.

Make sure your receiver is DVB S2 capable.
