Please help me buy a good dual band receiver with CI slots

hsbrar

Dear Sir,

Im new to satellite receiving systems and am about to buy a Digital Satellite receiver .However before I do so I would be grateful if any one could advise me whether there is a receiver which is compatible with both Ku and C band satellite FTA and Digital reception plus has atleast 2 CI slots for pay channels ?
Here at my location some Korean and Taiwanese receivers like Coship are available .Does Coship have such a receiver ? If so what is the model number ?

The satellites which I can receive here are NSS6,Asiasat2,Asiasat3s,PAS7/10.Thaicom 3 etc.

Thank you ,

Most digital receivers will have the capability for both Ku and C band reception, so any receiver which offers two ci slots should work for you. The Coship receiver range is probably a good starting point.

I have seen that for most Analog receiver specifications it is written "SCPC & MCPC receivable from C/Ku band satellites" and there is no mention of CI slots where as in specifications for Digital receivers with CI slots there is no mention of both C & Ku band and only Ku band reception is mentioned,on the Coship website ...www.coship.com .

By the way what other equipment/accesories will I need to have a C & Ku dual band receiving system .I have an 8 foot C band dish,an Analogue C band receiver,3 C band LNBs,C band feedhorn .

Does Ku band LNB fit in C band feedhorn ?Is the coaxial cable different for C & Ku band LNBs ?

Thanks for your help,

Didn't think that the SCPC and MCPC apply to analogue, as in that multiple channel per carrier normally applies to Digital bouguets.

For Ku band reception, you will need a ku band LNB and I guess a combination feedhorn. The big dish guys on the forum will I'm sure be able to offer more help.
