New to FTA. Was wondering if someone could answer a few questions.

[Kombi]

I will try to make this quick. please dont bast me for asking stupid questions. im thinking about getting a Nfusion nova receiver so all questions would be based on that. I have a primestar dish. saw a webpage that someone had a set up with that dish. now thats thats said here we go. To get all KU band birds. How many dishes would I need. if I had a motor (I know a heavy duty one) on that dish. Can I use just 1 dish. If i go big dish with a positioner,do i still need a bunch of smaller dishes also. (At some point I also want to get c band) If I need more than 1 dish. How maney would I need to get all birds. What is the best LNb. I read that I can use the primestar with a DTV 3x4 box( I have one around) if I use 1 dish how maney LNB's do I need on it and what kind. If I use a big dish. I know I need a c/ku feedhorn. But will an older one work. or would I have to buy a new one. I have a few DTV dishes around with LNB's. Can i use them for anything. The LNB's I mean. Do I need a positioner? With the right receiver, Will that move the dish? I understand this 90, 101 110 thing from my dtv dish. but how does that work with fta? If i got a multi lnb adapter for my dish. how will that help me. (With dish motor) I know some of these are basic questions. I was hopping someone might point me in the right direction. Thanks guys.

I'll assume you live in the states. you'll need a 31 inch dish and motor with a universal lbn that gets both circular and linear signals. that's what I have and have no problems picking up all sats. thats all you need. your looking at around 150 bucks

You listen to CG, he is the expert on the Infusion

Seems I helped an awful lot of people with their nFusions lately, its a popular box for obvious reasons. But I don't mind. Bring on the challenges <smile>.

you go dude!!! keep up the good work.

ok. 1 question answered. thanks guys. If I have a dish motor on my dish. I can get all birds. Cool. The receiver will be in 1 local. But what If I wanted to put 2 in. How do I split the signal off. Also you mention things like 101. I knw what you mean from dtv. How does it relate to fta? Also. im not 100% sure I will go with that reciever. Right now I like it due to the lan cable and internet updates. I would like a PVR. I know it does it in a rather unconventional way. if I dont go with that box. lest say i go with a viewsat 9000. Where do I get the updated files? http://www.abadss.com/forum/images/smilies/please.gif

The nFusion's PVR 'feature' is crap. As a receiver, it is great. If PVR is important to you one of the only ones that really works well is in conjunction with the Sonicview 8000 unit.

Ok so from what I am understanding. When you say 101 its just an easier way that saying echostar 4? or galaxy 28. I think im understanding. I used to mess around with a big dish. so 1 dish. It will be the primestar. Thats the largest dish I have. 1 LNB . Can I use the primestar with? I was told I would have to feed the h and v into a dtv switch or they would burn out. or should I get a new lnb?
