[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 402571, member: 256551"] I have a motorised dish that can go from 0 degrees to 30 degrees east before things get in the way. I also have a fixed dish on Hispasat. Unfortunately Im having a problem at the moment in that I cant get my diseqc motor to work through my 4-way diseqc switch. So I have put up yet another dish for 28.2. The motorised dish can then be used between Astra 1 and hotbird by briefly plugging in the motor and changing the position. I have come round to the idea that for my purposes for the moment that a motor is not the best option for just picking up 30W, 13E,19.2E and 28.2E, which is all I want. I can't have a big dish with a multi bracket on due to complaints from 'er' indoors and neighbours. But a largish (0.8m to 0.9m)dish with an LNB multibracket covering 13E,19.2 and 28.2E with a separate dish for Hispasat would be an ideal solution. You don't have to wait for the dish to move and also you can put a twin LNB up for 28.2E so a $ky box can be connected and won't be disturbed as it would if the dish was motorised. Yes, so I agree, if you definetely only want the major 3 eastern birds plus Hispasat then then 1 fixed dish plus one multibracket dish would be an excellent solution. Oh and 28.5 Eurobird can be classed as being in the same location as 28.2 Astra 2. If you aim your dish at one, the signals from the other will also be picked up. [/QUOTE]
