Salut to everyone, i give honor to all that deserves it on this forum!
Intro: While i lived in Europe for about decade before moving to the US, I used to help my friends to set up Satellite and also offer advice on purchases. But since i came to the US i have lost a lot of those skills because I wanted to understand the land before i begin to experiment on the possibilities. Here i am now taking the next but crucial step to launch my independence, having divorced myself from all paid TVtainment monopolies since 4 months ago.
I recently bought my X2 Receiver which i immediately hooked to my existing DishNetwork Dish. I only receive CNN and the Dish Network Channel Mix unscrambled, although i got good signals on several other Sats. Believing that is as a result of using Dish Network's LNB, I decided to purchase my own single Linear LnB with 4 outputs which i am about to install. My question is,
1. Do i need to change the dish too, and should i maintain the same position as the previous Provider owned LNB?
2. was that why the channels are all scrambled in the first place?
3. What Sat are european channels on?
4. Where can i get reliable live US sports like Football and Basket Ball?
5. Where can I get International Soccer as the World Cup is just some months away?
I sincerely apologize if these questions have been answered in some previous posts, and i appreciatively look forward to your sage advice.
Thanks!
PS: I bypassed the Dish Networks DisEq Splitter peradventure it has been locked, can i use it with the new LNB
