C-band help required

Archived from groups: alt.satellite.tv (More info?)

I have a 12' mesh dish and a General Instrument 450i receiver that I
bought 3 years ago. Soon after, the channels I wanted became available
on cable and I decided (also for other reasons) to abandon the
satellite system.

Things have changed again and I would like to find out if it's still
possible and/or beneficial to re-activate my system. Cable is costing
about $60 CDN per month.

What can I do to pickup most of the satellites at the cheapest price?
And, can I hook up more than one TV to the signal?

A great number of what used to be fta has either gone off C band or gone to
digital mostly receivable by the 4DTV. NPS had a deal going to purchase one
for around $500 something with some free movie channels. It's a great
receiver.
