A few channels have moved from 97.0W to 129W (Church ch, TBN, Enlace, Smile of a Child).

So, need to add an additional dish and a switch...my question is, and if anyone can drop names or provide URLs for products recommended.

1. an additional FTA dish; I know some of them are made like crap, and some are good / better. Looking to spend in the neighborhood of $80-100 for the dish

2. A new multi-switch. Would like to be able to connect at least two, possibly three dishes, and have 2 or 3 outs, to connect to 2 or 3 STBs.

Any recommendations are appreciated, and if links can be provided, that would be great.

Thank you.

Where do you see they moved to 129w KU? That's a dishnetwork bird.

I think those channels are on 125W cband. (Galaxy 14)

These TBN channels are still on 97w. No need for new equipment, just rescan 12053 V 22000

Those channels are for cable headends and not available for home viewing. The channels require a subscribed receiver and a c-band 8-10ft dish.

Telstar 7? not 129W?

In any event, they are no longer on 97W, so I am still in need of the equipment recommendations for adding a dish and switch to acquire the lost channels.

The channels are still on 97W. I just checked all of them. You need to rescan 12053 V 22000 as Titanium said.
