[QUOTE="Tom Mountford, post: 71594, member: 186234"] Hi all - forgive me if I appear vague, I work in telly and am reasonably technical but have little knowledge of satellites, so here's the situation - I have acquired two ex-broadcast Scientific Atlanta 9661 receivers. The display on the front shows me they will receive C/Ku/L-band transmissions. I have bought some F-connectors and a 100 metres of satellite lead... what do I need next? I have 360 degrees of open sky from a flat roof and room for a 2.4 metre dish, is this overkill or about right? I want the maximum amount of channels possible as I am intending to receive news/programme feeds. Would a dish this size remove the need for a motorised system with a smaller dish? Scientific Atlanta sell either a C or Ku band LNB for the receiver - but would a generic 0.3 or 0.6 db (don't know which) 'universal' LNB be able to do the job of both and supply a signal to both receivers - i.e. one unit set to C, the other set to Ku but both using the same LNB? Any help on this (or any further info on the 9661 model) would be much appreciated. Thanks, Tom [/QUOTE]
