Hi All, just after a little advice before i buy anything else.
At the moment i have an ***** 65cm round steel dish. What id like to do is at a quad LNB pointed at 28E and use 2 feeds to run my Sky HD box. Then add an offset bracket to get 19.2E and 13E. Is it better to use a monoblock or 2 LNB's?
I would then like to use a Diseqc switch to take a 3rd feed from the 28E quad and the feeds from 19.2 and 13 down one cable to my Sky Star 2 PCI TV card. I presume monoblocks have a 2 way diseqc switch built in, so if i use one of these, does it daisy chain into a 2nd switch with 28E ok?
I know the dish size isnt ideal, but its what i have so i'll give it a go, can always get an 80cm is it doesn't work out.
Any recommendations on LNB's, brackets and switches?
Thanks!
