Satellites???

Archived from groups: alt.video.satellite.mpeg-dvb (More info?)

I have a Fortec Ultra with the Fortec 30" dish and the Fortec LNB that came
with the dish. What satellites can I receive with this unit? Like Telstar
5, Galaxy 10R, 11, AMC1 - 4, SatcomC3, How do you tell if its C-Band or Ku
Band? I live in New York, Which ones would be to far to pickup with a 30"
dish?
Thanks
