My System: Covering 30W-105.5E range, two motors, C and Ku band. Various receivers/cards/cams/etc.

It will be very interesting, to know what dishes and for which sats being used by these 5 and 6 dish owners.

1. 80cm Motorised plus Twin Output LNB on south facing wall: General purpose multi-sat use in Living Room for HD and in Main Bedroom for SD (Motor Control from Bedroom Box)

2. 1.1m Motorised on Patio Stand: Experimentation and Feed Hunting

3. Zone 1 Minidish with Quad Output LNB for 28E only: UK Channels available throughout the House

4. Old "Analogue" Dish with Monoblock for 13E/19E: Other European Languages for the sole use of ones wife

5. Zone 1 Minidish for 5W: A late addition to also enable the wife to watch French Digital & Analogue from AB3

Also, in the case of the two motorised Dishes, these are separately located due to arc coverage problems at earth station Tivù.
