Hi Guys
Hope someone can point me in the right direction.
I have got a simple satellite setup to receive channels on Astra @ 19.2 East - Humax CI-5100 Receiver, 60cm Black Mesh Dish (originally supplied by Sky for an analouge set-up in the early 90's), Universal LNB (don't know make) and an Irdeto FreeCam. I have been happy with this set-up, although I have recently experienced problems with the Teletext, especially on ORF (Austrian channel).
Now, the receipton on the terrestrial channels has been poor for a long time, and is getting worst by the minute. I want to overcome this by using an old Sky digibox and mounting a second LNB on the 60cm dish, to receive the usual BBC and ITV channels by satellite.
I don't want to go motorised, as I want to be able to keep the two seperate, so could someone please suggest the best equipment to do this?
I was thinking that I may need to buy a new dish (the current one is not that easy to set up - ie. has no angle settings etc), a multi-feed bracket and a second LNB for receiving sky. Could you recommend suitable equipment please?
Also, which sky box would you recommend (considering I'm going for a second hand one)?
Any suggestion would be most welcome.
Many thanks.
