DTN Dish??

[timmy1376]

Just wanting to play around, but I do not have anything yet, so my question is, will a DTN dish work for anything? There is one I can get, but if it will not be useable for anything, I will not mess with it.

thanks!

PS I can take pictures if nobody know what I am talking about.

It depends on how big it it.
If its less than 30".....the audio channels on Dish & expressVu
More than 30"....all the FTA stuff :)

I just checked and it is exactly 30 inches.

I have attached a image of the lnb, I think I remember being told one time this is Ku only. I basically want to just see what's out there. Would there be any WB channels out for a Ku system of this size??


OFF TOPIC: BTW, I have not watched WWE in a while, what the deal with Brock Lesnar? They fire him or did he quit to go NFL?

Anybody know about the ellipical dish: primestar, direct pc, starband? Want to use for ku or c band. Also, I need to know what lnb, especially the ones that filter out noise down to.03 and amplify signals. Does anyone know of a reasonbly priced lnb tha fits that discription? Thanks

that will work. Here is where most of the network ones are...the column on the left..the 5 digit ones we can pick up with a 30" dish. There are 2 WB's

He quit...He always wanted to be in the NFL and he really hated the travel schedule. he has a young daughter and doesnt want to spend so much time on the road.
He also said the NFL "would be easier on his body" :lol:

those will work too :)
The LNBF on there would work, or you can get a different one.

I use a Direcpc dish and LNB for FTA and it works great, but if you get a 30" dish and LNB its much easier to add a motor later when you need one, and you will!

Now, do you guys have any recommendations on a PCI card for the computer? Now that I am thinking about it, it could be a way for us to watch WB programming. Just record off the sat. and burn to DVD-RW.

I see the Twinhan TH1020A for a decent price to play around...

[PSB]

I am a receiver guy but I think I will get a card next time I place an order from the importer to play around with, there is also the VP 1020A card but it costs a bit more. The specs on both these cards can be seen at the DMSI link on my web site, anyone using a card for FTA?

Lesnar worked out with the Vikings at their mini-camp. I think the jury's still out on an NFL career. The Vikes told him to work on his skills, as his game-shape is just fine.
