Not sure if it's worth your time setting up 123W not very many channels are open on that bird, you can find out more about it here >>> Galaxy 18 at 123.0°W - LyngSat

Default Questions about Galaxy 19, Galaxy 3C & my reciever

I have a 36 inch fixed dish, with what appears to be a below center LNB pointed at Galaxy 19 with a stable signals. I paid someone to install it, and I'm gessing it has been hanging there for at least 3 years to watch FTA Chinese. I'd like to add Galaxy 3C to pick up more free Chinese Channels as well. (My location lat itude 37.9813, and longitude -122.1572) Is there any chance of splitting the difference in asmith of 2.5 degrees and elevation of 1 degree for me to get both with an amplified LNB? If so, how would I program the old Pro Stat reciever?

If I can't get both, what equipment would you reccommend, and what other FTA in English can I get?

If you are looking to get more then one true fta sat a dish motor is a must for you.True fta birds have very low signal and are hard to aim at without a motor you can spend days trying to locate them. If you are looking for Asian channels sat 97 W would be your best option a lot of true fta channels mostly Asian and International but not many English channels are open.

Well to be honest buying a fta receiver at a pizza place is never a good idea.
