[QUOTE="jsidur, post: 604552, member: 321566"] I too like many newbie’s have read as many posts on this website that my mind can handle. I thought at one time that I had my question answered but I have a technician questioning my solution. So here I go. I have a customer that wants to pick up 23 TV channels that are Free to Air on 5 different satellites. My customer is in Stuttgart, Germany. I called the Kathrein sales office and worked with the sales director to determine that I need 1 90 cm dish and 4 75 cm dishes to pick up Astra 1F/1G/1H/1KR/1L (19,2°E), Atlantic Bird 3 (5°W), Eutelsat W3A (7.0E), Hotbird 6/7A/8 (13°E), and Intelsat 7/Intelsat 10 (68.5°E). I read all of the information I could on the LNB's and decided to purchase a Quad LNB because I need to pull the H and V on Atlantic Bird 3 (5°W) and Intelsat 7/Intelsat 10 (68.5°E). :confused: First question: How do I know if my signal is Horizontal High or Low on my polarization? I have looked at www.lyngsat.com and www.satcodx.com and cannot for the life of me determine where to look to find out the polarizations. I am taking the satellite signal and converting it from coax to fiber to transport the signal to the telecom room on the 1st floor (then converting it back). I have 2 AV racks in the telecom room for all of my equipment. I looked at a Blonder Tongue Commercial Digital Satellite Receiver (CDSR-6181). Now my technical sales guy for some of my IP TV equipment said that this will not work. :confused: Second Question: If the Blonder Tongue will not work - why? What satellite receiver (or tuner card) should I be using? Someone mentioned NTSC or PAL is this the problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Julie [/QUOTE]
