My System: 90cm Fortec Star Dish on a Stab Motor supported on 24" T&K brackets, with a Fortec Star Sigma reciever, picking up 4w to 42e |
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 | ||

Blog Entries: 1 My System: Sky UK. FTA analogue & digital satellite from 6 fixed dishes (5E/7E/9E/10E/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: Zone1, DSI8215 SkyHD, Thomson DSI4214, TF5000CI, Dreambox DM800 HD PVR - Nab BH0.12, TM-5200D, Gibertini 104cm, SNH-031, 36v Actuator, Vbox-II, 42°E to 30°W, Sling Media, Televes H45 Digital Processing Analyser, Satlook Micro+G2 NIT, Rover SDM 1s | 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 | ||
