You can always expand. You could start with a 2 Dish setup, then add a Motor to 1 Dish if you need more sats.
Are you buying equipment, or finding used stuff?

I think theses are the only 2 satelites that have intersting programing for what its worth in Ku.

I guess what you call interesting and what I call interesting might be 2 different things ;)

Reading your location (and your other posts) sounds like you are interested in Spanish language programming. If so, there is Azteca 7 & 13 on G26 (93 degrees west). But if you are into sports then there are other satellites that have feeds (they come and go all the time). Then you'd be looking at other satellites.

So I guess the question is what are you interested in?

There are frequent sports feeds on Horizon-2, Galaxy 16, Galaxy 17, AMC15, to name a few. Generally they are HD or 4:2:2 chroma ( also called "studio video") , but some are 4:2:0 SD . You'll need a blindscan receiver to find them ( like a Mercury II, Coolsat 5000, Pansat , etc) . The tp's seem to go hot about an hour before game time, so start your scanning then.

Guys any other sat. recomendations

I agree with Iceberg that Azteca 7 and 13 on Galaxy 25 @ 93.1 might compliment what you currently have , they do offer some sports but I'm not sure about MLB.

Because Fox has regional MLB games depending where you live you might want to check out AMC 4 @ 101.0 west . KUIL FOX 64 from Beaumont Texas might be of help.

Other than 24/7 channels with sports programming your other options are blindscanning for Sports feeds on random satellites or depending on what sports you crave maybe adding a Analog receiver for some College sports or an HD receiver that supports S2.

neljtorres , What Sports do you like ?

KUIL Is no longer fox as of 1/1. Its now "The U"
(Fox moved to what was the NBC channel in the market)
