My System: Media PC
Question 2 LNB system help.

Hi everybody. I'm thinking about trying to use my flatmates 80cm dish to pick up English FTA HD channels. I will need some kind of bracket to put another LNB on as his is pointing at the Sirius satellite (Polish channels) and I need the Astra. Some questions;

1) I've read that a dual LNB setup will reduce signal quality? Marginally or drastically?

2) LNB advice please, price bracket is upto £80. For use in PC with WinTV-NOVA-HD-S2 card if that helps. Yes my pc is fast enough.

3) Will the elevation angle of the dish (not mine remember) mess up my plan?

I looked at the Maplin mono-bloc LNB then realised that you couldn't watch both channels simultaneousley. Having nearly bought the kit I came here for advice!
If all the answers are favourable then all I've got to do is discretely hack down an intervening tree...
Thanks in advance.
