Galaxy 19

[spiderzaur]

Hi,

I am trying to get Turkish kids channel for my daughter, did research and found that its on satellite Galaxy 19, 97°W. I have never done this thing before so please help me to buy right setup.

Let me give you some info:
This is the channel i am trying to watch: http://www.lyngsat.com/tvchannels/tr/TRT-Cocuk--8.html

Same website suggests to get 130cm dish for this.

I am living in: Acton, Ontario.

My questions are:
1. Can you please help me to find right dish and LNB?
2. What is the best/right receiver for it?
3. Where you buy (prefer online) this kind of stuff?
4. Is this free to watch or do i need to subscribe anyone?

I am currently Bell subscriber and have Vu Express setup with 91 and 82 with regular and HD receivers from Bell. But after some research i think this system will not work with galaxy 19 and i need to buy new dish and new receiver for it which i dont have problem with. i just dont know what to buy and where to buy.

Thank you very much for any help!!!

Satellite AV has just what you need: Otherwise it's piece by piece from various vendors. But may save $, but maybe not.

Is this Free To Air? G19 TheList http://www.satelliteguys.us/thelist/index.php?page=97 Galaxy 25 NG Looks to be - on transponder 11960 V 22000
just checked and is there.
EDIT: Welcome to satelliteguys!
satbeams says a 80cm dish for Ku. 1.3m for C band.

Welcome!

I agree with Fat Air - $200 is a great deal with free shipping. It will get your channels just great.

Use DishPointer to get the settings (elevation, azimuth & skew) to help you set it up. The link is: http://www.dishpointer.com/

Good Luck - we are here to help.

Does Satellite Av ship free to Canada where this guy is located?

Good "?" Contact them, http://www.satelliteav.com/p/contact
Think you can do the purchase over the phone also.

http://www.drsat.ca/ is a good choice - they are in Oakville Ontario, you can just drive to their store and get everything you need, without expensive shipping across the border.

That combo kit that FatAir suggested is a great starter kit. That was my first kit, and I am still using it. I have since then added another dish, actually I have 3 total, and only 2 up at this time! You cannot go wrong with that kit in my opinion! The receiver is very simple, and I knew nothing about FTA, and I have taught myself and the folks around here are very helpful! Just my two cents.
