Depending on what you want from the receiver, give more details, then users will let you know which receiver would be best to use.

V8X works good for C band ......good bang for the buck

Sorry, yes it would be for C Band. I have a 12 foot dish with controller and motor. I stopped using this because I live on the East Coast and I have a lot of lightening and I lave lost 2 tv's, 2 home theater receivers, and a couple sat receivers. The dish has never taken a direct hit but it seems if there is lightening within a mile or so my satellite is like huge funnel. The last receiver I had I believe was the V8 Nova blue. Where can I go to see a current list of sats and channels available. That will be the big deciding factor of if I put it back in service or recycle it.

You have to put good protectors for atmospheric discharges, in addition to a very good grounding.
