[QUOTE="evertonpaul, post: 785390, member: 384043"] Aha ... so now we get to the bottom of it. I must, as you say, have an old "[URL="http://satellites.co.uk/skim/BskyB/"]Sky[/URL] Analogue" LNB on the dish. There are major mismatches in the channel frequencies listed at the flysat.com website and those listed on my receiver. For example, Montagne TV is at 11251 and 12101 on my box, not 11509... and RT today is at 12131 and 11281 on my box, not 11533. You can also see now that you are dealing with a complete Sateliite novice! Some further questions if you'll humour me :).. I have a new dish with a modern universal LNB that came with the receiver. I planned to point that at 28.2E to get the English satellite TV channels, and leave the old dish pointed at 19.2E. So possible options. 1) Is it possible to get a dual LNB dish that can get both 19.2E and 28.2E (I guess the difference in angle is quite small)? Or would it be cheaper just to get a new LNB for the old dish pointing at 19.2E and set up the new fixed dish that I have pointing at 28.2E? 2) If I do get a new LNB for the old fixed dish, will the dish size be O.K. for the "new" digital frequencies? It's about 70 cm and worked fine for old analogue stuff on 19.2E. 3) In either set up, is it possible to have a switch/junction box to feed both LNB signals into the same receiver? Can you blend the signals with a simple 'splitter' type device, or do you need an actual A/B switch? 4) Can you tell me a bit about the old "[URL="http://satellites.co.uk/skim/BskyB/"][COLOR=#417394]Sky[/COLOR][/URL] Analogue" LNB? Is it essentially just junk now? P.S. Please spell out any ACRONYMS in your answer .. I am a novice after all! :D Cheers.. [/QUOTE]
