[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1075604, member: 176704"] A few thoughts: - The larger the conventional elliptical dish is, the narrower is the "beam angle" (roughly the "angular spread" from which signals are received strongly) - thus it could be more difficult to get reception from a wide spread of sats with a larger dish than on an 80-90cm dish with multiple LNBs. - Those 4 sats are relatively close together, and normal LNBs would thus be very close together, if not probably touching on a normal dish - thus you would probably need "slimline" (with 23mm collars) LNBs if 1 per sat. - 2, 3 and even 4 sat "monobloc" LNBs (recent thread here on that) are available for closely spaced sats - might work, but you might need two of them, they are phyically relatively "wide" and so might not actually fit on the dish arc, and they are compromises in terms of signal strength. - WaveFrontier might be an idea, but I understand that they are tricky to set up - although there have been several threads on that, one was a few weeks ago by someone who clearly knows what he is doing - "Leftside thought": If you have the space, you might consider something like a Zone 2 Sky dish with 2 LNBs for 13E & 19E, and then the existing 80cm dish with 2 LNBs for 9/10E and 16E - though the latter dish could be marginal on signal strength/quality as those are the "weaker" sats (at least in S.E England, so could be worse in Ireland). A 2-dish solution might also be easier to set up because there would be less compromises as you can set up each one separately. Regardless of which you will also need a suitable DiSEqC switch with the appropriate number of ports. [/QUOTE]
