A customer just called to tell me that they are losing the German programming they have been getting from Globecast and want me to furnish it from DISH.
According to DISH's website, they carry two German channels: GERMAN TV and PROSIEBENSAT.1 WELT. The programming description page says that Superdish is needed to receive this programming.
I already have a 1 meter DISH with a regular linear Ku LNB (I believe they are now calling them FSS) and with its own dedicated home run coax to the German programming viewing location that is used only for the Globecast service, so if both DISH German channels are broadcast from the same satellite, then I can surely retrofit that dish to meet their needs. This receiver will not need to access any other programming, though if need a dish pointed at another satellite to initialize the receiver or to get guide updates, I have DISH Pro LNBs targeting at that property targeting 119 and 110 that could be used.
Are they on the same satellite? What LNB is needed to receive them? Can a 2800, 301 or 311 be used to subscribe to this programming?
