    I don't know where is the forums for satellite dish. If you know, you can guide me there.


    Actually, I'm looking for a 30"-31" satellite dish. But I don't know which brand is good. Plus I want the satellite dish has a chip that can connect to PC through the memory card reader.

    Can you also give me some links that I can read their specs too?

    Thank

    isn't it the receiver, not the satallite, that connects to the pc?

    i think for the most part, dishes are all the same.

    So the major one is the receiver. But I heart that if I want more channels, i need a bigger dish.
    I still dont know much about the receiver. Can you guide me a little?

    does that mean you're trying to do FTA?

    you need to pick up an FTA receiver, then. a typical dish network one won't work. well, not legally.

    any old dish should work fine, though. and fta receiver will just give you access to all the networks, once you know how to use it.
