What dish for SD setup ?

[ohioviper]

I am upgrading our reciever in the bedroom to HD and I am moving the old SD box to my shop on back of property and I need another dish for it. What dish should I get for SD only, this will never be HD as its for an old tv in the shop I will only use here and there for football game or to keep an eye on the weather. Thanks.

The Triple LNB. Most locals are on the 119.

Almost all programming, including most locals, come from sat 101. A basic single LNB 18 In dish is all you should need.

This all you need for sat 101 programming.

All you should need is a basic 18" round dish which picks up 101 (has all the main SD programming).

Looks like you get your locals out of Columbus, OH? If so they are on 101:

Actually a lot of locals are on 101. They tend to put the larger DMAs on 101.
