Hi I will be moving into a new house in a few weeks and it has, what looks like a 65cm dish up (I assume it is pointing towards Astra 28.2), Can I pick up Hotbird 13.0 as well through this dish without using a motor? Thanks in advance. mattybee | ||

My System: Sky UK. FTA analogue & digital satellite from 5 fixed dishes (5E/7E/9E/13E/16E /19E/23E/28E) Pace MSS100, Echostar IP3000VA, Technomate TM-1000D, Dreambox 7020S  The last noble sat warrior to fly the olden flag of Analogue | The Hotties at 13E are pretty powerful so give it a go - you have nothing to lose apart from a couple of hours tinkering time. You *may* find you dont have a great deal of rain fade margin, but go for it

My System: 43cm Dish, Sky Plus v2, Thomson DSI4214, FRACARRO PENTA 85cm, Invacom Twin, Moteck SG2100a H-H DiSEqC Motor, TF5000CI, TM-5200D, Sling Media, Rover Discovery ST-4, Rover SDM-1s, 57E to 58W, Tecatel 1.35m fixed on 28e, Pace D5430-N | Just to add.... 13e and 28e might well be possible with a suitable multi-bracket on your existing dish assuming it's not a mini-dish due to LNb brackets and availability as AS has suggested. You may need to buy another suitable dish with multi-bracket. I actually tried it with a Z1 dish and made a temp bracket/arm. It worked but was bodged. If you do, align centre on 13e and set up offset LNb for 28e A picture of the dish would answer your question
