[QUOTE="cjgall, post: 23679, member: 175963"] Do you mean multi feed LNB? I have a [b]twin LNB[/b] on my motorized setup so I can add a second reciever in a different room. A [b]multifeed LNB[/b] looks at two (or more) different satellite positions at the same time. The further apart the satallite positions are, the bigger the dish you will need to receive them. I know that its no real problem recieving Astra1 & Hotbird with an 80cm dish, But Astra1 & Astra2 and especially Astra2 & Hotbird are much further apart. There are special dishes and LNB holders available to which you can add two or more LNB's pointing to different positions on the Clarke belt. There is one drawback with a motorized setup as far as I am concerned. My receiver has two tuners built in. I cannot record a program on my harddisk from a station on Astra1 while viewing a station on Astra2. Using a multifeed LNB (with twin output) would enable me to do this. [/QUOTE]
