Re: Dish types and uses..
Thank God for this thread and electronics is not one of my favorite hobbies. After reading this thread, I've decided to pickup the super dish 121 because I want sat 121. My questions are what LNBs do I need and will this dish compatible with CW 600s premium and viewsat 7000 pvr? Also, this dish can get HD, true?
Thanks.

Re: Dish types and uses..
Can the super dish receiver sat 118? If so, what LNB do I need to get in addition to the ones that come with the dish? I want to get sat 110, 119, 121 and 118. I read it on another post that most of the Chinese channels have been moved to sat 118.
