If I buy a Lyngsat satellite rig www.lyngsat.com


Lyngsat is not a "satellite rig". It is simply a web site with satellite
information.

or Starnetwork
www.starnetwork.tv satellite rig,(which one is the best?)


Star Network is Free To Air - "FTA". That means it is free.
Any MPEG2 satellite receiver can receive it. I would look at a Pansat 2500A
with a 76cm dish for the Ku band.
Most any satellite dealer, local or online, can set you up.

can I pick
up Bo Gritz on that C-Band bird way up there in the sky?


Bo Gritz' Freedom Call (radio) is also on a Ku-band bird
http://www.lyngsat.com/galaxy25.html 11836 frequency (transponder 5 -
"GlobalStar Channel")
schedule http://network.theamericanvoice.com/schedule.htm
so you can use the Pansat 2500A w/76cm dish for this also.
For C-band please consult a dealer for technical details.
