My System: Technomate TM6800D & TM1000D+ receivers, Stab H-H90 motorised Triax 1m dish 42E to 30W. Fixed Orbital 1m on 26E, 2 x minidishes.DigitAlB movies. A Bigsat BS-S77CX and a Sky Dodgibox.

It depends how much you want to spend.

Dish wise, get the biggest you can get away with. Without planning permission, the maximum you can have is 1m. Mine is 1.1m

Whilst the much stronger and faster 36V motors are better, most of us have the cheaper Diseqc/USALS variety, which do the job, just more slowly.

My Diseqc motor has been up for over a year now, and it is still working fine.

The Moteck sg2100 are quite popular, one of the site sponsors had them for about £30 odd.

With a Diseqc motor, only one of the receiver can control it, and yes you'd need a TWIN LNB for the 2nd receiver to run from.

My System: Sky+, DB 7000s, Gemini 4.3 in flash, Var on USB stick. Transparent 80cm Dish, Moteck SG2100 DiseqC motor, lots of legacy gear. Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Unaohm EP313, Swires Annie 204 Spectrum, Rover ST-4 Spectrum.

Because only one coax can loop through the motor, the other would have to have a direct connection to the twin LNB.

A multi LNB dish with four twin LNBs and two four way DiseqC switches would be better for operation of two receivers.

My System: My system:Receiver-Sky Sat 9900FTA+emu;Ferguson FX-6600CR/OCTAGON SF318;LNB-Sky Sat, universal, 0,2dB;1.2m offset dish ;Diseqc 1,2 +USALS Moteck2100A motor; 1,2m parabola+0,3dB Inverto @ H-H Strong SRT DM 2100

You can control one Diseqc 1.2 motor with two Diseqc 1.2(USALS) reseivers with follow coaxial cable connections: motor – LNB in(first receiver) – LNB out(Loop) – LNB in(second receiver). But to watch programs with the same polarization from one transponder.
