A 3M dish is preferred even though I use a 2.3M and with a little time and care can the 2.3M can be pointed for a good signal. Any C-Band LNB will be fine. There's is nothing special about Strong LNB's.
Any MPEG4 receivers can be used from cheap Openbox to the better UltraPlus 900 and 9200 HD PVR receivers.

Thanks for your quick reply Leroy.
So definitely no good with 1.6 dish then. I don't think my strata will allow me to install a 3M dish on the rooftop. I have a small courtyard so having a 3M dish on the ground is out of discussion!!!
Unless there is other alternative that you know of? e.g. keeping the same dish, and try my luck with the new MPEG4 receiver?
Is it a 1.6M solid or mesh?
I wouldn't buy a new receiver. The dish is too small. You can have a look on satbeams and click on the C-Band vinasat1 beam and you will see it overlay Australia. Then click sydney and you'll see the recommended dish size. It says 2.7M dish is required but you're further north so a 2.3M might work ok.

Well if tropifish buys an ultraplus receiver and can't get it on his dish at least he can stream them on the internet.

How is this ultraplus receiver work?
I would love to give it a try as i'm dying to watch those htv channels. Given the situation that i'm in as i can't get a 3M dish so if this ultraplus can do the trick then i'm more than happy to try.
thanks again for the help.

Leroy perhaps you could make a youtube clip showing them in action?
I would do it except my tv in the bedroom with the Ultraplus hooked to it is an ancient 4x3 set.
Thanks guys!
Leroy, i've read the post #210 you suggested. So I buy this Ultraplus box, connect to my PC, does it need an antena cable goes into it? Then load the zip file with all the viet channels into this box. Then it should work?
Which model of this Ultraplus receiver you will recommend?
steve
Either UltraPlus model. The 900 is the single tuner and the 9200 is the dual tuner but you can have the option of 1 sat tuner and 1 terrestrial tuner for your FTA TV reception so if you don't have a PVR, another option to consider.
Also you can use this in place of your current receiver but you can use it stand alone without the antenna/dish plugged in. Only the internet connection is required. And yes just load the file that's in the zip file.

The receivers come with no hard drive by default. The Western Digital 2.5" AV drives are the ones recommended by the supplier but I've had no issues with others.
The wireless USB network interfaces Ive used are in this post as well as others posted at the end of the doc. I'll pm you with more info.
Cheers,
Leroy
