[QUOTE="BGonaSTICK, post: 71637, member: 176912"] Not a feed hunter myself, but here are a few hints to get you going. The single most important piece of info we need to know to help you fully, is your location. This is an international-flavour board! :) A 2.4M dish would be fantastic in the UK, but whatever you have, it would need to be motorised. A dish can only point at one satellite at a time. An 80cm motorised dish would get more channels than a 2.4M unmotorised. You are going to be very limited with only an analogue receiver. If you were also to add a digital receiver, you would have thousands more channels and feeds. A 'Universal' LNB is Ku band. More bands, more LNB's! One good digital receiver and your analogue receiver, coupled to say a 1.2 or 1.8M motorised dish with a combined C/Ku LNB setup would get you plenty to keep you going. A VERY substantial mount would be required for this on an open roof. Your dish would basically be pointing south, give AND take maybe 60 degrees. :) [/QUOTE]
