Astra 19.2 and 28.2 on one dish or 2 dishes

[fuerte]

Hi,

i currently have a dish (45cm i reckon, not sure) that allows me to watch freesat in sw london. I am now trying to receive french channels in HD on astra 19.2 (I own a TNTsat receiver). I don't know much about satellites and wonder what is possible?

- Is it possible for me to install a dish and have 2 heads allowing me to keep on receiving freesat and add tntsat?
- Should I just install an extra dish pointing to astra 18.2? In which case should I go for 45 cm or 60cm?

Thanks for your help.

Laurent

Welcome to the forum.

Two options available:

Add another zone1 dish for Astra1 (19.2e) or take down existing and install a 65cm with LNb offset bracket. If the latter, then align the dish to 19.2e and fit another LNb for 28e.

There's a third option, gaffa tape a second Mini Dish LNB to the 45cm Mini Dish, it's not perfect but it works.
