How many operational dishes do you have?

We did this one a few years ago but things change

So how many working dishes do you have - ones blocking up holes in the hedge dont count!

My System: Various digiboxes, broken Nokia 9800S, numerous analogue boxes. My lovely little lappy, HP Omnibook 6100

Two 80cm...

However, these are on two houses so one one each...

But, each dish has three LNBs...

However, I only currently use the 28E LNB on either of them...

Pick the bones out of that lot!

My System: Dreambox 7020 with 120 gig hard-drive disk - running a motorised dish DM800 +DM600 +DM500 although only usually the 7020 and 800 are both on.

I just have two

One motorised and a sky mini

I'm curious why people would want may differing dishes, wouldn't either a motor or a multi LNB setup be easier to maintain?

I'm thinking of getting a multi-LNB for my motorised system so I can view and record at the same time.

Dedicated and tailored systems for other family members with different priorities as regards preferred languages and content

I'd got given most of the stuff for free over the years and decided to put it to good use. They were lying in the shed and under the hedges getting in the way
