annnd i just found my answer looks like im buying a new LNB, can anyone tell me if theres anything left on this satellite worth watching (feel free to PM me)
Hey Guys I have pointed an old pay tv dish 65cm w/ universal KU lnb at Intelsat 19, I have 90% sig quality and can pull alot of channels (mostly encrypted) was able to watch Euronews FTA. Im looking at trying my V8 Superbox with some of the powervu channels on this satellite as I cannot seem to scan them in i'm assuming ill need to purchase a C Band LNB?

thanks man there is a guy with a 1.8m dish for sale near me I might grab it
unfortunately its a mesh one
Nowadays you can pick up a new 2.3m under $200
Even a 1.8m mesh dish aimed at Intelsat 19 C band will receive many of the services, but it doesn't have enough gain to allow for a fade margin, which means that when the signal level drops, (heavy rain events etc) you will loose reception, and solar outages (when the sun appears directly "behind" the satellite as seen by your dish) will last a little longer.
As MTV says, new 2.3m mesh dishes are cheap enough, and if you install it yourself, you could have a working C band setup, including pole, for around $300-350.
With the appropriate receiver there is a lot of material available on this satellite on C band that you might find interesting.
