[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 525878, member: 256551"] OOps yes, I forgot about hakon's thread.:-rofl2 He's not got 30W though, he is using a separate dish for that. If you go to one of the wavefrontier websites, it gives you a template that you can cut out and place over an arc of the satellites, which will give you a theoretical span of possible satellites. I didn't realise up to 70 degrees was possible in practice though, I imagine you would have to experiment a little. hakon used lots of SUR420 by Spaun I believe, which could work out expensive for 2 or 3 receivers. Also they need Diseqc 1.1, do both your receivers support this? (The Sky dodgibox does not support Diseqc) One way to do it would be as follows:- Fit twin LNBs to all satellite positions except 28E, where you would fit a QUAD. Wire the Sky dodgybox straight to the quad, with no switching. Then fit two 10 way switches to all the other LNBs, the output of each goes to each of your receivers. ( Something like the diagram below) N.B 9E/10E count as one LNB, so do 0.8W and 1W. Robbo:) [/QUOTE]
