[QUOTE="Tuga, post: 45349, member: 179825"] Hi, I have been reading all I can on different forums for the last 2 weeks, still there are a lot of things I’m not sure about. So I decided to join this forum. I want to get a setup for TV Cabo on Hispasat 30W. I have just bought a Manhattan DSR 5500 with built-in 6-1 cam and 2 CI slots on ebay for £70 (hopefully not a waste of money). I know I will need an 80 cm dish for Hispasat (I live in Hampshire) but was thinking of getting a cheap small 60 cm Sky dish and LMB to play with one of the astra’s first as this is my first attempt at “anythingsatellite”… So I would appreciate if someone could answer a few questions… 1- Is the Manhattan DSR 5500 CI-IR good enough for the purpose? 2- Can I use a Sky dish and LNB with my receiver or will I need an universal LNB and dish? (for the astra’s) 3- Which Astra’s can I get with a 60cm Sky dish? 4- To have the dish facing east it will have to go in the garden some (up to 50m) away from the box. Is this to far or will it work? 5- What distance does it need from the house to the dish so it can clear it (inclination and that ..lol) 6- Any other satellites worth watching sweeping from north to south? The back of my house faces west almost spot-on so I have a clean line from north to south… 7- Do I need to consider true south or magnetic? (if this any makes sense) Sorry if some questions sound dumb but I have looked and cant find an answer so the only way to know the answers is to ask them… Thanks every one. Tuga [/QUOTE]
