FTA What satellites can I get?

[oilers4ever]

Hi all
I did a search ***********and this is what the info shows for my area in eastern Canada:

91.0W Nimiq 1 | Galaxy 17 | DirecTV 1

Here are my questions:

1.Does this mean I can get BEV and DN at the same time?

2. Also, if I purchase an eliptical 18x24" dish with 4 LNB's will I be able to pick up 4 signals , 82, 91, 101, 110 and 119, at once? Are the eliptical dishes a popular way to go and work well? I have 2 seperate dishes outside not hooked up yet, but I thought it would better to have 1 dish with all signals going to it. Is this better?

3. I have a single Nuvenio HD receiver. So since I have 4 LNB's, do I need a 4-in-1 switch or just a 2-in-1 switch ?
I want to get BEV and DN at the same time in HD

4. I read in a sticky thread this:

HD satellite tv is essentially the same concept as regular satellite tv, however it requires additional lines. In most cases, you will need to run dual RG6 lines to your dish and to your satellite receiver. If you have more than one head on your satellite dish, you will also need two additional RG6 lines for each. High Definition Satellite TV requires a High Definition Satellite receiver, and a High Definition television.

I want HD since I have the Nuvenio HD and HDTV. So I need to run TWO RG6 lines from EACH LNB to get HD ?

Thanks and sorry about all the questions!!



Thanks!!

yes you could get 4 sat with the 24 by 18 dish,82,91.110 and 119..
you will only need a a diseq switch 1 by 4... and i advise you to try to get 110 first(centre lnb in the dish) then the rest will fall in place with little tweaking.
