hello everyone, i live in Haiti and while being in the states a hotel gave me a 10 ft dish for free. my question is what kind of cband/ku lnb can i get ? also i will be setting it up in Haiti which my cordinatates are 19.55 72.43 . my other question is for setting up ived read that the dish needs to be pointed to my southernmosts satellite. how can i find that out? also with this dish i would like to get a cheap fta receiver , that would work for being able to catch soccer games from around the world.
thank you

IT was great speaking to you on the phone, welcome to the forum!

It will take a bit of reading but everything you need is here........

Depends how cheap you want to go with the receiver, but I would make sure you get one with blind scan as it will help you scan the satellites quickly for soccer matches : )

And it can also be used as a tool to help you set up the dish, if you set your big dish up as KU band then switch to C-band it will be spot on the arc! I would also make sure the receiver is a DiSEqC 1.2 receiver. I am sure some of the C band folks will also chip in and give you a hand.
