[QUOTE="css_jay99, post: 12705, member: 175391"] 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 : [COLOR=red]1)) [/COLOR] 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) [COLOR=red]2)) [/COLOR] Use a bigger dish(88cm ?) with 1LNB((28.2E) + Monoblock LNB(19.2E & 13E), and each output connected to the two receivers. [COLOR=red]3)) [/COLOR] 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 !!:D 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 [B]RECOMMENDATIONS WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED !![/B] 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. [B]THANKS 4 taking time to read this !!![/B] css_jay99 :confused: [/QUOTE]
