Re: HD Satellite: What do you recommend?
and if you wanna get the HD channels on DN like 129W, they require the additional 8psk module(roughly additional $150). For BEV HD channels you only need the HD receiver.

Re: HD Satellite: What do you recommend?
Additional hardware that does not come with any HD receiver, you have to purchase it separately and install it if you wanna watch DN HD channels. Here is how it looks like, this one is for VS9000HD, but they all look similar, and they are pricey:
For a list of all the HD channels available check out this link:
HD - LyngSat HD
Here is North America we can only get the birds within the 61.5W to 148W range, so ignore the rest.

Re: HD Satellite: What do you recommend?
Thank you cery much for your replies:
I use my Fortec to see 110 and 119, if I understood correctly, I need the receiver (ie sonicview 8000 HD) AND the 8 psk module for that receiver, did I understand right?
Thanks again

the 1000.2 dn dish is perfect for that setup it will give you 119/110/129 on just one dish. Save the dual for b3v 91/82
