Free-to-air satellite signals come in two types; Ku-Band (small dish), and C-Band (large dish). Many of the international channels available in North America are broadcast in Ku on the Telstar 5 satellite. But others are available. Ku-Band systems consist of a satellite receiver and a remote control as well as a dish that only points to one satellite. If you find that you need to look at more than one KU-band satellite you may want to purchase a rotor system which moves the dish to point at many satellites.
