just need some clarification!

Hi all, i have a Humax FOXSAT HDR, and i reading up that i can get channels from other satellites, i was wondering what is the best way to go about doing this, i see there is the motorized option or having loads of LNB's at the end of your dish. Obviously the satallites you can watch with the multi LNB option is limited by the number of LNB's you have but will the motorized option get signal from more satallites?
Also i was wondering if anyone had a list of the channels that are possible to get, are they these: Free TV - Europe - LyngSat
Finally, my friend has a motorized dish with a reciever and he get national geographic i think in HD, is it possible for me to get that or will i need a CAM?
and im guessing the humax doesnt do CAM
Please forgive me if all this is in the forum im new to all this

Re: just need some clarification!

You couldn't add much that was useful to a standard dish on 28.2E, but you could have one to bring in both 19E and 13E. A motor would bring you all the satellites that are powerful enough of course. Sites like Lyngsat and KingofSat will give you the full range on each satellite and show which are free - which doesn't include NatGeo of course. There are three or four free HD channels and a few more may come along - nothing English.
