    I'm south of Brissy and have a 2.2m and get all the frenchie channels.
    Um, there actually is NO C-Band. its L or R or KU.
    I get all the KU stuff.

    In the old days you use to get all the ch7 and 9 feeds from Sylmar California. Nowadays using a 2.3m in the south east it's just AFN 4174 Left hand circular very low res pics, and Australia + on 4070 Right hand circular. The 3753Mhz Right hand is on the Northern beam for Japan and Korea, not received here ... To convert to L/R circular Dielectric plate is needed. On the Ku band side "Canal Calédonie" is well received on a 75cm dish. Universal LNB is needed, The Vertical "Tahiti Nui TV" is on the Western hemi beam.

    Those were the Old days when I use to sit down and watch Cinimax Movies or Showtime from 2.30 PM to around 7PM where when they use to change to Videoplex for the NBC and ABC.
