Hi all,
I will be moving house in a cpl of wks and need to setup a dish to view Astra1(19.2E), Astra2(28.2E) and Hotbird(13E). I currently have an 80cm(I live in London) Dish with a monoblock LNB (astra+hotbird) connected to an Echostar DSB2200VI receiver.
I have thought of 3 optios of acheiving possible success as :
1)) Hook up a H-H DiseqC mount to my existing Dish setup and then get a Diseqc Positioner , and a manual A/B Switch for the two receivers(i.e. digibox & Echostar)
2)) Use a bigger dish(88cm ?) with 1LNB((28.2E) + Monoblock LNB(19.2E & 13E), and each output connected to the two receivers.
3)) Use a bigger dish(88cm ?) with 3 LNB's- 1 goes to digibox and the other 2 go via a 2way diseqC switch to the Echostar.
I am to a certain extent technical hence will possibly be doing the installation myself. If all fails, then I will get in an installer to carry out the other half of the job. saves money !!
I am not sure if option 1 (even though it might be the easiest option to setup) is good since I have read a few things in this forum about H-H DiseqC motors going wrong . Please correct me if I am wrong
RECOMMENDATIONS WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED !!
Further, most shops I have dealt with dont seem to know much or they just want to sell you what they have got.
Please can I have specific names of items that i might need. Especially what dish or arm or LNB brackets name & model I will need + which shops to get them from. Any picture/website will also be appreciated.
THANKS 4 taking time to read this !!!
