[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 812403, member: 323322"] BSkyB and UK Free to Air is from Astra 2/Eurobird @ 28.2/28.5E. As you intend to use a French Installer, you will need to be very precise indeed over your Instructions: DO NOT just say you want Astra, for example, as it will be assumed you mean Astra 1 at 19.2E >>>>> All well and good if you like German Channels, but not likely to impress the wife! Whether you need narrow LNBs like Alps depends upon how closely your desired Satellite positions are spaced. As for switches, if you use four single LNBs, then you will need a 4 way DiSEqC switch - the feeds from each LNB go into this (place it close to the dish) and a single cable then goes to your receiver. The correct LNB is selected by virtue of allocating Ports in the Receiver's DiSEqC menu. Finally, I'd be inclined to bury the cable, not the dish .................... !!!! [/QUOTE]
