Good afternoon.
That is correct, there are also many different transmission methods such as
DigiCipher, 4:2:0, 4:2:2, standard definition, high definition, etc. This
is my hobby as well as business, so if anyone has any doubt about the
ability to view any specific signal in the continental US, I will be happy
to share what would be required to receive it.

Thanks,
Lee Richardson

Yeah, I have never seen anything from there, about the closest is BBC and
Deutche-Welle. If you ever see a channel in Lyngsat that you would want
and need to know the least expensive way to get it, just let me know.

You have to be careful reading Lyngsat. For example, there is one
satellite
with FTA BBC (several channels), ITV, and a bunch of other U.K. programs.
I can "see" it from my backyard with no trouble.

However, I can't receive it's signals. They are concentrated in a spot
beam, so you can get away with a small dish in the U.K., but here you
can't receive it with a 9 meter dish. :-(

It's not Lyngsat's fault, you have to check coverage maps too.

Look at http://www.tele-satellite.com/eng/ too.

Geoff.
