He needs two separate lnbs on a dish centred on 19.2 with the two lnbs either side - but then he may as well add a third lnb for 19.2. He is not talking about Astra 1 at 19.2 here - he requires Astra 2 at 28E (read his posts) and I am fairly certain you will not get a monoblock to cover 15 degree separation.

Recording channels is not vital although I suppose it would be a nice bonus if the cost difference is insignificant.Īlso, none of the local dish fitters have fitted a dish for hotbird before and they basically told me to do all of the research outside of the dish fitting - so any extra info I might need to make this work first time, or recommendations on specific receiver models etc, would be great. More expensive setup but won't be paying labour to align the sky dish. Forget about the Sky dish, and use a new dual-LNB dish and dual-feed receiver for both Hotbird and Astra. Quite a bit more expensive box I'm told - but I assume I can easily view all astra and hotbird channels together.ģ. Get an 80cm dish, use my Sky dish for astra, but use one dual-feed box for both. Get a single-feed fta box for the new dish and use the Sky box for the Sky Dish.Ģ. Get an 80cm dish which is pointed at Hotbird, get my Sky dish pointed at Astra 28.


Taking into account that I'd like something easy to use and practical, but without too high excess costs, which of the following would you recommend.ġ. I would like to get Hotbird 13b to watch alongside it. The Sky dish has recently been obstructed by building work, and needs realigning. We currently get Astra channels via Sky dish and box.
