Hi! Forum,
First time poster and FTA newbie, Here's what i want to accomplish. I want to use only one FTA Dish to receive Dish Network 110/119 and FTA channels (especially IA-5 for thailand channels) for Coolsat 5000 reciever. Need some advise of what equipment do i need for this setup. Should I hire a professional to install all of this? I have never installed a satellite system before. Any links for installation/how to setup would be greatly appreciated. Thanks....

Here's what i have :
Dish HD 811
Coolsat 5000
LavaSat 4x1 DiSEqC 900-2400 Mhz (came with Coolsat)

Plan to buy with Sadoun:

Fortec star 36" dish
Invacom Quad LNBF QPH-031
Do i need a Better DiSEqc Switch?
What HH motor do i need?
Satellite signal meter

My home address:
Merced, California 95348
 
You are not going to want to have a dish with motor hooked up to the 811.

I would just setup a dish for the 811 and a 2nd dish with motor for the Coolsat 5000.

The coolsat 5000 isn't going to get much FTA on 119/110. Unless you hack.

And there is NO HACK TALK ALLOWED HERE!
