| Depends where you live, how many satellite orbital slots are available from your location, their footprints, and the channels they have on them. The USA is quite a big colony (sorry, country) | ||

Blog Entries: 1 My System: Triple Dragon with HDD/USB stick, Dreambox 8000, Humax HDCI2000, Echostar AD3000ip & SR8700, Aston Simba, RSD ODM300. Swedish Microwave 1.2 Motorised dish / Invacom C120 twin LNB driven by the AD3000. 3 other fixed dishes.  Fighting the evil 3 Dragons under the Don Quixote banner,Sir Llew persevered where others failed | No doubt you can use the 12ft. dish for C-band reception, but I thought B-Mac went out with the introduction of digital transmissions (at least over here in Europe). Same with the various flavours of Videocipher. Llew | ||

My System: turnkey 700mhz athelon .5gb ram,120 gb,drive j-test j-tag setup | there is little programing left on c-band (network feeds mostly). b-mac is still used by some of the sports books (hors races) the dish is o-k ,hughs only made comercial equipment in that vintage most likely left over head end stuff.
