Before start in this hobby, may sure at least you read a minimun of post to collect the necessary information to begin a project.

Basic elements : Compas or Brujula(spanish),valors of your location ex: long and latitud,see if you have clear visibility in the sky space where you need set your antenna .
Un FTA receiver,for domestics need a D500 or DT oval with 2 lnb separates if a dish pro lnb you can use it.
For international you need at least a 30'' with a linear LNB if mayor of 30'' is better quality.
The settings for miami ex: is 240 azimuth,139 skew and 41 of elevacion,this last is aproximatly depends in some places you need a little ajust of elevation this is for D500
A good tool for take information about sats is lyngsat.com there you found all about sats locations anyway you can use other place if you have one.
Some tools used to install a system are Drill,cube of diferents sizes,screw of wood or concrete (blues)
Each receiver come available to see FTA,other use is onder you own risk and never have warranty.

It really depends on what you want to test and view.
Most starters preffer the Twin LNB setup to catch 110W & 119W, but lot of testers want to get the most out of their set up and opt for multi-lnb dishes or motorized dishes.

Re: basic elements to see FTA

I just bought a captive works 700s, and I am trying to aim it at one of the satellites, but it tells me that it is a "scrambled channel". One of the forums talked about F1 000. By enabling the patch, will it unscramble the channel, or am I just lost and confused?
