[QUOTE="cjgall, post: 38640, member: 175963"] The dish should not need to be altered. How big is the dish? You do not need a second input on your receiver. A mono block has a build in switch, if you go the 2 lnb way then you can add a [font=Arial][size=2][color=#000000][size=2][size=2][font=Arial]DISEqC 1.0 switch, i.e. a switch with 2, 3 or 4 inputs and 1 output. You will have to check to see if your receiver supports [/font][/size][/size][/color][/size][/font][font=Arial][size=2][color=#000000][size=2][size=2][font=Arial]DISEqC 1.0.[/font][/size][/size][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=2][color=#000000][size=2][size=2][font=Arial] I suppose that the best choice would be the mono block, it is probably a bit cheaper than 3 separate lnb's and if you disk is alread pointing as astra1 then all you do is fit the lnb and it should automatically point to hot bird. I am a novice myself so I cannot explain exactly how things work. I can tell you that the signal reflects off the dish onto the lnb so if the lnb is in the right place it will pick up a signal. I have a bisat dish with a holder for astra1, astra2 and hot bird. The holders are in a straight line but I can pick up astra 1 and astra 2 perfectly (hot bird currently not connected). I doubt that you could do much else with the sky digital dish as they tend to be too small. [/font][/size][/size][/color][/size][/font] [/QUOTE]
