[QUOTE="Prague68er, post: 132120, member: 195944"] Complete newcomer:- Hello, I am a satellite-dummy. I have no experience but I'm keen to learn. I've been reading a lot of websites and forums and it seems that this is a good place to come for advice. I currently have an analogue system (let behind by the previous owners of my house). I now wish to move into digital and after reading I have an idea of a system that I'm interested in using. Any advice anyone can give would be very welcome (but please don't be too technical). The system I'd like would look like this:- Force Fronter 90cm dish with 4 LNBs pointing at 39°E, (28.5°E and 28.2°E), 19.2°E and hotbird at 13°E. I have an existing universal LNB from the analogue system which would be reuseable but I'm not sure what other LNB would be useful for the other 3 satellite positions. Would an Invacom 0.3 single be good enough and should it have an integrated feedhorn? (I'm not really sure what a feedhorn is yet but I've been reading about them). The receiver I'd like is the Technomate TM1500CI+ which has had good reviews on here and on other sites. I understand that it can be patched. (I'm not sure what a patch is although I know its downloaded from the net). Is it possible for a I.T. novice to use patches or are they for experts only? This last question is really basic. What 'add-on' do I use outside the wall of my home to ensure only one wire needs to go through the wall? If I have a system pointed a 4 satellite positions I guess I don't need four wires, and thus four holes, in the wall. Any advice will be welcome. Please keep it simple as I really don't know even as much as this post would suggest. I have read a lot of terms which I'm not sure I fully understand (feedhorn is a prime example). Thank you.
