Hi all,
I’m moving house soon and will be able to mount a permanent dish (woohoo!j for the first time in a few years. I’m looking for a solution that can get me as many sats as possible but I have a few “must haves”.
My in-laws are Romanian and don’t speak any English. When they’ve visited in the past I set up IPTV but this is surprisingly expensive (unlike the UK the IPTV solutions are more expensive than legit subscriptions!). It’s also not the most reliable. What I’d like to do is set up Freesat Romania which is at 16e. I’ll be able to get ahold of a sub easily which is only about £20 a year as we have ties there. However, they’re having a carriage dispute with a major broadcaster who have shifted their channels to 39e. This will hopefully get solved but I’d rather play it safe and be able to catch both sats.
In any case, I would also like to receive 19e and maybe a few others like 28e, 13e, 9e and 46e.
Is a toroidal dish a good solution for this? I worry otherwise that 16e would be too weak as an offset especially as I’ll be in Scotland. Does anyone have experience of using a toroidal dish with 13-16-19e?
Thanks, and I’m happy to receive any advice you have to offer.
