Hi Guys
I just came into a 10ft fiberglass c band dish (for free) and I'm new to c band but I have some knowledge of ku band.
I'm planning on getting programming from NPS, I just want to get what they call analog from g5 (g12)I don't need ddII or digital, just an analog receiver. Do I need a deceipher box for just analog? What do you recommend? I'm thinking about purchasing a unit from ebay, where else can I go for a unit? (an inexpensive unit)
What can I use to clean the sat dish, it's an older dish and a bit dirty?
Is there a web page that can give me the azu and ele for a c band dish. I have sat finder 3.8 but I was told that is only for ku. (my area code is 70458)
Thank you for your help :)

I forgot to add what receivers and manufactors do you recommend and not recommend
thank you rdel :)
 
Well it would be best to get a 4dtv, since analog is slowly on its way out, but if you want to just start off a Toshiba, chapparal, GI, Drake analog IRD would be fine, you will need a VCII+ board also, this goes inside the receiver.

4dtv is on sale at the moment:
