[QUOTE="BGonaSTICK, post: 98620, member: 176912"] Whoa, lots to answer. Here's my first attempt. Your dish can only pick up transponders from a single satellite grouping at a time, i.e. one orbital location (if it only has a single LNB, like your minidish). Larger dishes with multiple LNB's can have each one aligned to a particular orbital location, and as you say, the overall dish setup may span several degrees. Your minidish is almost certainly too small to receive all the channels off of the Hotbird location but depending on your location and the prevailing weather conditions at the time, you should get maybe half to three-quarters if you're lucky The channels that you a managing to scan at the moment just happen to be on the same transponder values as the ones that are on Hotbird. Check [url="http://www.lyngsat.com"]www.lyngsat.com[/url] for a complete breakdown of what is where. This is the best place to get all the explanation you need. You post, we answer. Easy! No free sat-ISP's that I know of, but there are some 'free' data transponders where you can pick up as many free viruses as you like! HTH STICK [/QUOTE]
