Got sat 101 now what

[gjabier]

Hi,

I was finally able to get 101, now what other DTV satellite has enough channels and HD worth trying to get.

Thank you

For HD, you should be getting the 99 and 103 satellites.

Thank you Bob, what about 110 and 119, anything there?????

No hd, mostly sd local channels.

It would also help if we knew what dish you have!
And where in Central America are you?

I didn't notice the location until you mentioned it, jds. No way he is getting hd from where he is.

I think this is an extension of this thread.

I have a 1.8m oval antenna. Why do see a problem getting HD???

HD programming is on the 99 and 103 sats using a Ka LNB and your receiver needs to be MPEG4 compatible. Someone in the other thread stated that your receiver isn't compatible.

Your dish would also need to be shaped to allow reception of the sats at 99 and 103.

Ah Ok, thank you. I have a second dish 1.2M that could setup for the other two satellites. Get a new receiver and done.

Thanks done.
