Thank you kindly for your response..I await a Skyvision catalog and have downloaded same--how do I know what dish and feedhorn etc are best to use with a 4DTV receiver? How would I know if a Motorola or General Instrument receiver are best for me, other then cost? Im not adverse to a self install but can I assume that such a dish needs to be ground mounted and what diameter would I best choose? These are a few of the questions I have as a first time buyer. It also appears that the hardware for such a system would be about 2000 USD? Is that about right? Finally, is there a way to combine free to air reception with pay for viewing packages in one receiver? Is this the right forum to ask these questions or should I ask them elsewhere? Thanks again for reading and responding to my query.

You will most likely have to install it yourself as I did but Skyvision has the info and the materials to do it. In my area there was no one who installs or services the big dish. Living in CA. you may have better luck finding an installer. Also you might want to check out NPS (National Programming Service) for packages. It has been my experience that they are more resonable in package pricing then some others and they do support the big dish or C Band. > > Choppah > > > > From: "intricate.rm" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Date: 2007/03/25 Sun PM 05:09:15 EDT > > To: [email protected] > > Subject: [TVRO] Novice seeks 4DTV answers and satellite knowledge for C, Ku bands > > > > Hello...I am new to this group and to satellite technology.
