Fta Spanish Satellites
I'm living in stx and want to connect to primarily spanish speaking channels. Which satellites are available and what type of dish/lnb will I need to satisfy my hunger?

Re: Fta Spanish Satellites
You're gonna need a dish (bigger is usually better but at least 30") and a linear LNB. I believe 123W has both English and Spanish channels.
There are a few other Spanish sats out there like Satmex5 but that requires a larger dish (like 4-6 foot) and a C-Band LNB. If you have the room for it that might not be a bad idea as it has a lot of channels from what I can tell on lyngsat. With a Ku band LNB you could still hit these birds but the channels running on Ku are very limited in relation to the C-Band channels.
