Hello there,
I am a newbie trying to figure out if there's a way of setting up my Bush HD Freesat receiver to receive signals from both Astra 28.2E and Eurobird 9E at the same time.
I have a sky dish thats picking up all the freesat channels and its all working very well at the moment. I am also able to manual tune to receive other non-freesat channels from Astra 28.2 and horbird 1 at 28.5E.
I connected my freesat box to a Eurobird 9E dish at a friends place and I was able to pick up non-freesat channels with that using manual tuning. That has given me confidence in setting up another (if required) dish at my flat and receive channels from both these satellites.
My questions are;
1) can I have a single dish and position it to receive signals from both satellites and have a single LNB in to my freesat box?
2) Will I need two seperate dishes? If so, will i need another receiver to get it connected to the Eurobird dish, or can I use the same freesat box and combine the LNB inputs and connect it. My freesat box has only one LNB in.
3) If the only option is to have a motorised dish, can i use that dish with my Bush HD freesat box and control the dish alignment just by changing the channels?
I would greatly appreciate if anyone can advice me on how to go about.
Cheers
