Post Been away from sats for a while, Help please!!

Hi chaps,

been away from satellites for a while due to constantly shifting home, but finally settled at this place and im looking to put a dish up.


Due to communal restrictions I can only have a dish in the bushes either Zone1 or 2.With all the changes in the sat world and my dish size limitations where should I point my dish at 13e or 19.2.

I have an old humax 5400 gathering dust and an Extreme Pvr. wouldnt mind watching a bit of footy,the odd movie and a bit of tooty now and again.

Ive got an old Sky Rover meter which I can find 28.2 no probs, once ive found this bird.

If im looking at the dish what way do I go with the dish to get either 19.22 or 13e.

Thanks in advance

If you can, get an equivalent size to a Zone 2 dish, one which allows clamping of a dual LNB (Inverto or similar), the DiSEqC system will allow reception of two satellites, and 19/13 are the better ones to go for when it comes to channels.

The Humax should still give you plenty to watch with the latest firmware upgrades

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness"

be honest with you,

Ive got a spare zone1 and zone 2 dish in the garage and with the chavs round here I didnt want to spend any more cash just in case they decide to give it a kicking.
