"real" Fta - ABA DSS

stars16 · July 20th, 2006

While waiting for the programers to do their thing, I wonder if it would be worthwhile to point a dish at one of the "real" FTA birds?
Is there anything worthwhile there? Does anyone know the coordinates of the best bird? What about a channel list?
Just wondering if this might help to pass the time till we are restored?
I have been looking at Lyngstat, and there are any number of birds available, does anyone have any experience with them?

does anyone have a link to sites that help you point your dish trying to pick up birds from elsewhere

Buy a motor and you will be able to get it all because there are feeds all over and just one FTA satellite will not quench your thirst.

ya man,for sure.its galaxy10 123w. hands down the best fta bird.

and sometimes 4 chans raceing (4 diff car's angles-audio) its the best man. check it on lyngsat.com alot of RTN for magnim pi,the a-team,knight rider,south park,,king of the hill,etc.
and no bin ever needed.
i use a direcpc dish for her.

Yeah I checked Lyngsat for 123.0w sure has a little bit of all, but like Carpenter said a motor is a must to quench the fta thirst.

remember a 30" dish/or much larger! and a linear lnb (larger dish/and different type of lnb is needed to receive true fta*free to air* programming.)
your 18" dtv or 20" dn dish with a circular lnb will NOT work.

Thanks all, looks as though It cant be done without hardware changes. Will continue to wait.
