My System: Humax Foxsat HDR Sony KDL52W5500 LCD TV Basic Sky Minidish |
Can anyone offer advice on the following: I have a basic Sky Mini Dish with a single cable outlet, which has fed a basic Panasonic Sky set top box for the past 5 years. Now, having purchased a Humax Foxsat HDR and Sony Bravia KDL52W5500 LCD I need at least two cables from the dish, or three if I run the Sky set top box on a separate TV in another room. So following the expense of this new high quality HD equipment I wonder if it is cost effective to upgrade the Mini Dish to next larger size with a 3/4 way cable outlet or DIY the Mini Dish with a new centre collector with 3/4 way cable outlet, will I see any appreciable difference in the quality of reception? Also can you recommend any supplier offering good prices on equipment and what specification cable I should use? Thanks for any help offered. | ||

My System: Triax 1.1m and Orbital 80cm Motorised Dishes. Various fixed Dishes. Eclectic selection of Digital and Analogue Receivers. Complex switching and distribution that SWMBO cannot fathom. Nor me. | | ||

My System: I receive all European FTA/FTV channels | the dish may well need fine tuning after fitting the quad, as the extra weight etc. might distort it just a little the Skyman | ||
