Galaxy 3C + Galaxy 19 - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

I would like to get the FTA channels available on Galaxy 3C and Galaxy 19. These two sats are 2 degrees apart, at 95° and 97°. Do I need two dishes to get them? Can I get them with a dish with two LNBF? I'm in Montreal. What dish size do you think is best?

There isn't much on Galaxy3C. Galaxy 19 on the Ku side sure has many ethnic stations. With a fixed old style Star Choice dish, you'd be able to pick up Galaxy 19. I wouldn't worry about 3C.

Unfortunately because the satellites are so close together (2 degrees) receiving them on one dish is going to be very difficult. The best thing is to get two different dishes - one for each satellite.

What English channels are on Galaxy 19?

lima20, take a look here:

The ones with a boxed "F" are free to air.

Off the top of my head:
Kuwait 2 (has some English programming, with arabic subtitiles)
EBRU
Press TV (Iranian)
Russia Today
Al Jazeera
River Broadcasting
There are several English language religious channels (mostly Christian American), offered along the few on AMC4, as the "Glorystar" service.

Radio stations are too numerous to mention.
