a) I know nothing about receiving this particular satellite
b) I'm in the UK
So I can try to give some general informed advice, but someone else here might be much better qualified!

Trinidad & Tobago are within 61 wests American footprint, but not its South American/Brazillian footprint - so which channels were you hoping to pick up?

The channels on 61w appear to be Ku band - so you can use the same equipment that would be used in the UK - any universal LNB sold by one of this sites sponsors would be fine - and the box you pointed out on eBay should be suitable (although personally I wouldn't buy it).

Hope this helps!
