I read post after post about trying to aim the small dish at the thing and modifiing recievers to get the programming. Don't get me wrong I think T-5 is great I've been watching the wild feeds on C-band for years. I agree that finding the thing is a bare I had trouble getting my big dish lined up, one or two clicks East or West your on the next bird. I did get the FTA DVB and set out to view this great programming that isn't available anyware. Having only C-Band I had to settle PAX over on AMC 1, the Fox Movie Channel on C3 and some other misc. channels in between. Not to be out done I went to E-Bay and got a duel feedhorn and two new LNB's (the C-Band was looking a little red on the analog stuff). Once again I move the dish to T5 and now in addition to the 250 or so channels I already had programmed into the thing I have close to 100 additional channels that are free and clear. The problem I'm having is that my one year of high school French isn't helping me bridge the gap.

So too my question, when everyone gets the dishes pointed and their recievers modified (or replaced with the right kind) what in the world are you planning to watch?

I the mean time I'm enjoying Bonnanza re-runs on PAX, the programming on FMC, and the other day I got the transponder setting for OLN on Galaxy 11 programmed into the DVB so now I will be able to watch the running of the bulls and see if Lance wins a sixth this comming July.
