STAR CHOICE DISH

[eriederie]

I found a starchioce dish complete with dual lnds in the garbage and was wondering if there are any satelites i can use this with my veiwsat extreme receiver,

What type lnb? Size Dish? If it has dual lnb (pick up sats 4 degrees apart) T5 97 (AMC 19) and W4 101 (AMC 4) would pick up some international, religious channels.

The LNB is linear on the Starchoie/Shaw dishes so it would work for FTA. But the size is important. There are 2 models
60e (32x20 I think)
75e (37x27)

The 75e will work fine for FTA. The 60 will get the stronger transponders but it is kinda small. Also the LNB is 3.8 degrees apart so if you try 2 sats 4 degrees apart you may have a lower signal.

I took a 75e dish and did 97/101 a couple years ago. Worked really well

I've used the 60E to get the stronger transponders on 123 (back when equity was on that bird). I've also used it to get 97W with success. This is all from Victoria BC.

I've used a 60E in the past to get 97/101, 93/97, 118.7/123. They worked on most of the transponders for me, but with a low quality signal.
