Thinking of trying FTA satellite

[fmj77]

Can someone give me an idea of where to start, such as finding installers and such. A google search pulls up nothing but sites in the UK and Ireland. Thanks.

Well to start off, what part of WNC are you located in?

I'm in the 28611 zip code. Near Lenoir.

Ok you still are a good ways from me.
If I go any further west, I'll end up in TN.

I'll give the guys in Charlotte or Johnson City, TN a call. Thanks.

Which system would you recommend?

 

[KE4EST]

Presently I would recommend the Linkbox 9000i HD or the Manhattan RC-1978HD.
They both can be purchased over at http://hypermegasat.com/Index.html

Hmmm strange part of my post disappeared.
Anyway...
As far as the dish I would go with this one. A very solid made dish, at a good price.

Many thanks for the help.

I'm quite happy with the Geosatpro dish mentioned by KE4EST and the Linkbox 9000i receiver (I have the 9000i local, which also receives local ATSC broadcast channels). The 9000i has a slow but thorough blindscan.
