Yes, great news... Amazonas 2 is now active on linear C/Ku , with several open test channels viewable using any FTA box.
You can watch them from Canada using a 33" Ku dish and Standard LO 10750 LNBF or Universal LO 9750-10600. Also on C with a 1.5 dish and a linear LO 5150 LNBF.
BTW.... with the hundreds of channels it'll be carrying, and as long as they remain on N2 encryption (probably 1-1½ years), it will be the next biggie free for all since Dish/Bev good ol' days...
zulu is correct..many people wait...This site , ecoustics, has been taken over by some people without much knowledge of FTA...many of them struggle with the English language. That's just the way it is...but there are many sites with knowledgeable folks that understand FTA. I helped someone last week and got criticized by some French Moron....That is why all the smart people have left here...This sites hit count has gone to POT
