Galaxy10 has Univison & Telefutura
Hispasat 1 has a lot of Spanish stuff...scroll down to 30W

Hi Iceberg,

Sorry I did not explain myself properly,I don't have any hardware (dish, receiver ...). That is what I am looking for. Which receiver and dish would you recommend.

Thanks

Check out the link to Sadoun above. They have systems that are affordable, and will suit your needs I have the Fortec system - S-1 I think it is

Also, where are you located, that will help to determine what size dish is needed.

Oops

You would need a receiver (Pansat, Fortec, Coolsat), a 76cm dish (I’d recommend a 90cm due to the northern location) and a LNBF.

Since you’re in Canada, I would recommend going through a Canadian dealer to prevent shipping delays, customs, etc
www.gosatellite.ca (sister company of a gold sponser here) has some deals.

Larry
He’s in Canada and Sadoun won’t ship there unless you have your own fedex account to pay for shipping. He is better off checking a dealer in Canada

www.kusat.com is another option. They’re in Montreal

Thank you all for your help, I will look in to buying the coolsat 5000 and for dish not to sure wich one yet.

Does the dish have to be bought new or could I buy a used one? what is the draw back of this?

Do I have to have a motor for the dish?

Forgive me if I am asking silly questions.

Thanks again

 

[PSB]

NO silly questions here

A used dish (in good condition) will work JUST as well as a new dish! The bigger the better!

You don't NEED a motor, I had a fixed dish for the first few years! Just moved it from one satellite to another by hand, it does get old after a year or so. With a motor the dish will move its self as you change channel! (After being installed correctly of course)

 

[iafirebuff]

If there were silly questions, I have already asked them...some more than once

 

[Giraldilla]

33 in dish with a motor or Eliptical Dish + 2 Dual LNB

I have more questions of course

What is best a 33 in dish with a motor or and Eliptical Dish + 2 Dual LNB.

According to what I have read it says that the eliptical 18 x 23 size can receive multiple sats.

Any suggestion very much appreciated

Thanks

For a motorized dish, I would go with either the Winegard 2076 or the Fortec 90 cm. If you really want to get into the hobby, motorized is the way to go!

 

[barney_555]

I would go with a 90cm or 1m on a motor.

Forget about the eliptical, it's only good for hi-power DBS signals.

Get the biggest dish, preferably 36-39". G10 has some spanish channels, but the signals vary with conditions. Best to have the biggest dish an SG2100 will handle. What City are you in? I bought a 39" dish out of Ottawa for around $129.00 cdn.
