Its possible to get some of it but even that would depend on location.
lnb type-standard
lnb frequency-10750

Blind scan

Try these transponders as they seem fairly strong

12059 22000 3/4 H
12152 20000 3/4 H

A 22 inch dish sounds a bit small for a "Ku" band linear satellite as they are 1/2 the power of the DN and BEV satellites.

It all depends on where your located, look at this foot print map for G19 (97W).
http://www.satbeams.com/footprints?norad=33376

Select the G19 Ku band foot print and then use the zoom function to locate your location, once your zoomed into your location (as close as you can) click once on that location, it will put a marker at that position, it will tell you the estimated size of dish needed for that location, if it says 22" is OK then go for it.

Hi Terry!
I have a friend who got the 97w sat by using 22 inch that why i got 22 inch but i am not sure if he hets all ch on 97w or just part of it.
thanks a lot Terry for the hellp!

NO I do not believe so, a minimal of 80cm thats a 30" dish offset is required nd max size of 1 meter is the best but most ppl uses a 36: or 90cm dish for Ku band 97
sorry a DN dish willl not work, been there done that! twice!

[Terryl]

OK if I select Indianapolis as a reference point I get a required dish size of 31.5 inches, so a 22" dish is going to have signal problems, it looks like you’re going to have to do some shopping around for a bigger dish, I would go for a 33".

thanks guys for help I will get dish 33inch from ebay
thanks a lot!

I've picked up stations on a 20" from another sat where satbeams said 36minimum,so I say "Never say never".If the weather is good then anything is possible.

[sliman]

i agree with Terryl & 0dd Thomas, no way to get 97 with a 22 dish, maybe 1 or 2 transponders.....nothing more.
you will need at least a 30 inches dish.
to get a better reception you will need a 36 incher.

Anything is possible if you want to work at it, I have picked up some DN channels using a garbage can lid (modified with a hammer) a 2x4 and duct tape, but you mentioned the magic word "weather" a small dish will/may have signal fade problems when the weather gets bad.

[leskfee]

thanks guys I will try 22 inch becuase already i got one but i am still waiting lnb, if i coudn't get the sat with 22' i will get 33'.
thanks a lot all of guys for your time!

What type/brand of LNB did your get as some will not fit on a DN dish.

[andyb2]

I know that lol even said he "may" get some.It all depends how serious you are about FTA.I havent tried the garbage can lid yet thou.Need to put that on my todo list lol

I know my friend i got a lnb bracket for dish to make t fit.
thanks terry!

[Terryl]

You should have seen the one I made out of chicken wire and re-bar, worked OK on some "C" band satellites, had to move it around by hand.

Get a DTV world dish 36" it already comes with a ku lnb and will pick up 97w with no problems.
