need advise on picking up 2 satellites

[JAMBOliam]

hi guys

At the moment ive got my satellite with one lnb pointed to hotbird 13E, was considering trying to pick up Astra as well as this to benefit from the other german channels as well as UK channels (for football).

Would i be best to get a twin lnb (two lnb's) and if so where is the best place to buy them?

or should i get a motorised dish, if so is it difficult to setup and where can i get them?

thanks

If you want the UK channels for football you are going to need a third lnb pointed at 28E - oh and a Sky subscription.

Go motorised, you will still not be satisfied with the two , or three satellites once you have them.

When i said football i meant for internationals, i.e when scotland are playing bbc1 up here will show it instead of the england match.

So theres no way i could get 2 lnb's and point it towards the astra satellite which sends the uk freeview and the hotbird 13E?

regarding a motor for my dish, where is the best place to get them, and will my silvercrest sl65 be able to deal with a motor on the dish?

What sized dish do you have?

A 90cm Raven Gemini with offset arm would carry LNBs for Astra 28.2, Astra 19.2 and Hotbird 13E.

i got the lidl one which is 57cm.

...thinking more about getting a motor to put on my dish, see maplan are selling them

You will probably be better off with an 80/90cm minimum, the 57cm will be limiting.

but will a motor work on my dish? and if yes will i be able to recieve the german, UK and italian channels i can already recieve by simply moving it by hand at the moment?
