What's your favorite C-Band Sat?

[LoTech]

I got a used 6 ft dish about 4 months ago, and I haven't gotten around to putting it up yet. I was thinking of doing it this weekend (weather permitting). For those of you who are C-Band aficionados, what is the best sat to aim a non-motorized C-Band dish at?

I say start with 121W then move on later...

Unless you're into Spanish programming, then aim at 113W and 116.8W

91w 99w 113w 116w 121w

Mainly on 99w for the feeds

BTW: This should be moved to the Cband area.

I like AMC1 @103°W for the Ion feeds and RFD TV.

It really depends on what type of receiver you're using. For my Diamond receiver it's AMC3 and G14. My 4DTV is AMC18, G14, G15, AMC10 on 2 different receivers.

Hard to say really. Having a motor on a good dish expands your viewing choices dramatically.

I can get everything from 55.5 west to 139 west . I could get 148 west until that satellite died.

I do expect to go with a lot more NFL feeds this football season, but absent that, 87, 91, 97, 99, 105, 121, 125, 131 and sometimes 133 are the summer mainstays.

For me, if I had to have a dish I couldn't move, I'd get a C/Ku lnb and I'd go with 125 west. That's maybe six PBS stations, two (sometimes 3) in 1080i HD. Create Channel is pretty cool, and is a good alternative to the Food Network.

On the C-band side there is A&E, History and Disney.

Amc 18 (W5) 105w for my 4dtv. Although I can go anywhere.

with no 4DTV setup

99 for nets and feeds
121 for a cornucopia of programming
118 for the former equity stations...couple in English, Univision, Telefutura

118 for the former equity stations...couple in English, Univision, Telefutura

oh yeah, keep on forgetting that slot for some network TV.
I need to add this one to my fav list

Not saying in the open forum but I like most of them that are viewable from here.

Thanks for the input guys. I have an idea now of where to start. The rain poured today, so I guess the dish will have to wait just a few more days.
