[QUOTE="BGonaSTICK, post: 131913, member: 176912"] I was hoping you meant 1 fixed dish [i]as well as[/i] your $ky dish... If not, then you might have a few problems dragging in 28.2E ($ky location) and 13E on one small dish... You may just do it on a 70cm like the Gemini. You can forget Hispasat 30W however, which is a shame as it's full of goodies ATM inc. movies etc. Retaining your $ky dish and adding a 60cm dish for either Hotbird or Hispasat is your best option IMHO. Depending on your situation, you might even try and go a bit smaller. The 2nd dish can be at ground level as long as it has line of sight, and can be painted green to blend in with any garden cover etc. if that helps in your quest for footy nirvana. If you're deffo restricted to 1 dish, you may have to motorise a 60-70cm and lose your $ky reception for the duration of the games etc. Always park back at 28.2E when you're done, especially overnight to receive $ky, plus OTA updates. Congrats on getting your SS2 up and running so easily. No point fiddling with mods to it until you have Hotbird or Hispasat capability. Things change in the murky world of satellite though. Astra 19.2E may well come back into the footy equation soon, and that would be do-able in tandem with 28.2E on a small single dish. If you go for 28.2E and 13E on (say) the Gemini and get it working, then stick and LNB in the middle for 19.2E as a bonus. STICK [/QUOTE]
