[rookie2301]

Hello everyone,

I all lined up to the bird at 61W on the last bin file I loaded V1.78 on my CW 650S I seemed to have lost a channel operating on transponder
11930, H, 26666, 5/6. All other channels work except this one Any advise.

Regards

There are quite a few english-speaking with spanish subtitles channels plus channels like CNN International and BBC World.

and what are the requirements to get this? what kind of dish do i need and lnb type? and any special settings or bin i would need to install?

What size dish depends on where your located....here in Barbados a standard DTV dish gets most of the channels but 6fter is better. This sat requires a Linear LNB. Also only specific receivers can get it Viewsat, Sonicview and CaptiveWorks to name a few.

well i have a 39" dish and a universal linear lnb , and a viewsat and captive works receiver. will that work ? and all i have to do is load the latest amazonas bin right?

You havent mentioned where your located.... if your south of Barbados then yes the 39" will work otherwise you`ll need a bigger dish...other than that everything else you got is good to go.

Yeh that 39" isnt going to get anything. I would guess a 8ft maybe able to get a signal but i have no way of knowing for sure.

[raven2k7]

i dont get it , i can get sky mexico and others with that 39" inch dish , why not amazonas? i dont think i need a 8ft dish buddy

Because your closer to Mexico than South America you would need a smaller dish to get sky mex. Your waayy outta the footprint for amazonas and would therefore need a much larger dish. A 6fter here in Barbados gets a signal reading of 75 and a quality reading of 75. So being as your much much further north than myself you`ll need a much larger dish.....an 8fter may not even get it.
