[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 785395, member: 176362"] [B]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?[/B] Yes it is - its certainly possible as a DIY job and you would learn a lot from it. Or you can pay to have some one do the job for you. Two dishes is also ok. [B]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.[/B] Should be ok. [B]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?[/B] Yes - you can get electronic disecq switches cheaply which will combine up to 4 lnb's into one cable. [B] 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?[/B] If its an old analogue lnb then its junk - and about 15 quid to replace. You might want to fit quad (4 output) lnbs in case you want to fit pvr's later (digital video recorders) [/QUOTE]
