Can I get them. If yes, what type of lnbs and receivers. I have an 18x24 elip. dish with vs 9000hd. I think 125w is still on n2. Dont know about 111w.

111W and 125W are linear satellites, you will need a linear LNB for them, also 111W doesnt have much on it for FTA, in the "Ku" band it is a Shaw satellite, that is not receivable by FTA receivers.

125W has a few good channels on it.

You don't mean 110 and 119 (or 129) do you?

Or on "C" band?

No I meant 111 and 125. How come people dont talk about 125 that often since its opened (n2). Im reinstalling 110/119/129 with a magic 4 brackets to have better Q on 110/129. With the extra bracket Ill add 125w or 91w. I wish I could get 111w.

Go motorized - a 36" (or larger) dish , motor and an invacom quad lnb will let you get both linear and circular sats available from your location with one press of the button.

That satellite, 125, is linear. It takes a larger dish and linear lnb. It would need to be in the center of your large dish if you used a bracket. Those N2 channels you see are also mpeg4 and DVB S2. Not too many receivers can get DVB S2 and they are only beamed to the Caribbean. That's why not many are talking about them.
