Advice needed

[Springbok76]

Been living in Germany, nearly 7 years and have decided Ive had enough of German telly, especially PayTv. (Sky Deutschland) So I have decided to, when we move to our new place start of the new year, to have MY Satellite Dish installed so, that I can watch free Uk channels, with view to a full Sky uk Subscription when my current contract with Sky Germany runs out, +- 9 months.
By now Ive already purchased a few things like the Sky Pvr box, 2/1 DiSEqC Switch for my Humax receiver so I can pick up the free uk and Germany channels.

I have a 85cm Triax dish (Live on the outskirts of Cologne) and need advice for the following:

* What would be the best Multifeed holder for it, since I eventually want to add a LNB for 16°E, so that I can take out a sub for Digitalb (for their variety of footy leagues) Since Im not sure if other makes of multifeed holders are compatible with Triax dishes

* Should I buy one of those packages on ebay which includes Quad Lnb/Cable(10,25,20m)/F connectors/clips or should I just buy cable in bulk 50m or so and buy everything else seperate?

* Since I will be living in a three storey house, the roof is quite high and I wanted to know, could an installer already set up the 16°E LNB feed even though I dont have the Digitalb set up yet?Because I want to have the guy do as much in one call out, instead of having to make another call out, cause I know it will be pricey when it comes to labour since they have to climb quite high to get to the roof.

Thanks in advance :-worship

Here's a picture of one: _http://www.sateuropa.co.uk/product_overview.asp?id=1693&catid=1&subcat=51
All those satellites are strong there so there should be no trouble with a multi LNB holder.

Any reason it must go on the roof? It would be a lot easier if you could access the dish yourself.

As for 16 east of course it could be set up at the same time but you need to be more specific as to which receivers the antenna system will be feeding so you can get useful advice on the best configuration to use.

Thanks for the Multifeed tip cause since I was browsing more the German market, they (4 LNB holder) starting at e19,99 for the Triax brand.

It has to go on the roof cause around the house its not that much space to mount it and the current owner has everything set up on the highest point of the house, since he has 2 dishes mounted.

As for the cable, any ideas on that?

Normal double screen satellite cable should be fine. You are going to need 1 diseqc switch and down lead for each tuner. So if getting up there is going to be difficult in the future your best bet would be quad LNBs, 4 switches and 4 down leads. This will allow for a Sky+ type receiver plus 2 other receivers. Put 28E on the default port of the switches so the Sky box works fine. If later you use a third party box that takes your Sky card you will be able to switch between satellites without any upgrades.
