Hi,
Just joined and first post.
I'm setting up a Freesat system after a house renovation. I have all the cables in and have worked out how and where I'm going to mount a DAB aerial, FM aerial, Digital terrestrial and freeview aerial and dish but was going to install a white dish, something slightly larger than a mk4 sky dish at around 42cm diametre(?) as in a bit of a dip behind a hill in Richmond (have been told that I can get good reception in bad weather if I go for the larger 80cm diameter zone 2 dish if I have sky). But what I wanted to know is if I don't want something that large can I go for for something like a Triax 64cm round dish to pick up Freesat which is all I want at the moment and then later if I want to get sky (through the proper channels of course) get the sky man to use that same dish to pick up sky? Will it work? Or do I have to go for a 42cm or 80cm sky dish and use it to pick up Freesat and have it there for sky if I get it?
It'll have a quad LNB is that ok as well?
Probably haven't explained that very well.
Any advice much appreciated.
