[QUOTE="Craig B, post: 33030, member: 177345"] Hello all. Appologies if this question has been answered before - looking back on some posts, a few of my questions have been answered but I need to get it straight in my head ;-) I'm getting Sky Digital shortly but have recently been told that you can see extra channels based from abroad (Ideal as my wife is German) using a multi-feed system. I want to recieve Sky Digi (28 E) Hotbird (13 E) and Astra 1 (19.2 E) so that she can watch a few programms dedicated to her language (makes her feel at home!). What equiptment would I need to get HB & Astra? A bigger dish I know is for certain (can I get away with a 70 cm dish? - I live in the south). Also another 2 LNB's (will a monoblock do?) and a bracket to hold the 3 LNB's (which one is best?) What position should the primary LNB be positined - 28 E ? Can I watch the FTA channels on HB & Astra on my Sky Digibox or will I need to get another reciever? ( I know I would have to get one for encrypted channels - but the Mrs won't let me watch them ;-) ) As you can tell - I'm a novice at these things - so any help would be most apreciated.
