My System: 2 x sky digiboxs 1 bush freesat sd 1 FORTECSTAR rec (not in use) |
Hi I have an 85 cm dish with Freesat only on at the present.I intend to swap my 2 sky digiboxs onto this dish and ditch the small sky dish. My query is,what other sat could I pick up besides the astra ones ?(the dish is fixed).I've seen ads for lnb clamps to hold multiple lnb's but I'm not sure what use they would be. | ||

This will give you all channels form 28e ($ky) plus around 2000+ channels from 13e and 19e. Note this also includes paid channels which require a valid subscription. Good Luck

Leave the $ky boxes connected directly to the Quad for broadcasts from 28e. Problem solved Topper ??
