Question on FTA Receivers

[waswiser]

I am a Canadian who just moved to Bocas Del Toro Panama and previously had a Nfusion HD receiver in Canada prior to it going down with Nagra 3 . I can see the following satellites here in Bocas "so Google says" and I was wondering which receiver anyone would recommend and which size of dish. Possably 60cm's or so.

1. 61W AMAZONAS | AMAZONAS 2
2. 30W HISPASAT 1C | HISPASAT 1D | HISPASAT 1E | SPAINSAT
3. 61.5W ECHOSTAR 12 (RAINBOW 1) | ECHOSTAR 15 | ECHOSTAR 3
4. 110W DIRECTV 5 (TEMPO 1) | ECHOSTAR 10 | ECHOSTAR 11
5. 58W INTELSAT 16 (IS-16) | INTELSAT 9 (IS-9)

Any advise would be greatly appreciated..

This site only supports legit subs and true fta. For true fta I would recommend an hd receiver like the Manhattan rs-1933, openbox s 9 or an azbox which will also open all 4:2:2 and 4:2:0 feeds.

# 1, 2, and 5 should have FTA programs on them, which if your receiver has 'legal' software on it, it may see some channels depending on the footprint. If it only has the pirate software on it, it may or may not. I believe, you will also need a linear lnbf rather than the circular one, previously used for pirating. Hope you will enjoy legal FTA. The Nfusion receivers seemed to be designed mostly for the dark side.

60cm dish is too small for FTA. Recommend a 36 or 39 inch dish.
