Hi
I've been thinking of going motorised in the bid to find the right dish for me and last week upon reading about the Diseqc stuff I've become more confused and gone off the Idea at least for now, not knowing if I've got the right DVB-S card to start off with [a Pinnacle PCTV Sat-CI (same chipset as the TwinHan VisionPlus at least according to MyTheatre)]
Appearantly the PCTV Sat-CI only supports Diseqc 1.0 and 1.1 not 1.2 I've read stuff on the 3 and really don't have a clue what they were going on about. Can anyone help?
Also while putting the idea of a motorised dish, I've got this 60cm dish I found being tossed out and am looking to put it up along side the sky minidish so I can wathc both Astra/Eurobird and Hotbird. Can you tell me if this dish is any use with a universal LNB to pickup Hotbird from the Surrey the EIPR and dish size calculator at
www.satmania.com
seems to think so but at a shop I was going to get the LNB from says the required dish size is 80cm or pictures will be unclear.
Lastly what would I need to connect both dishes to my card I have a spliter already from when I thought I cloud connect to recivers to a single signal source.
Thanks
