Hi, I'm a totally new to setting up my own satellite system, so please be gentle ! I've tried to do a lot of searching on the web, but I'm just getting really confused, so thought I'd ask for some advice here.
I currently run a toppy 5800 PVR and have a sky+ installation, but no longer subscribe. I now want to extend what I can watch on freeview with a few more movies and maybe the odd bit of sport.
What I'm thinking is that I can use my old sky+ cabling to upgrade my system. So here is my thoughts.
If I buy the following:
1 x Monoblock LNB
1 x Single LNB
1 x 80 cm Black Mesh Dish
1 x Technomate TM 5400 CI, USB
ebay item no.
320268060549
I will be able to attach the monoblock and single LNB and technomate to my existing sky+ cabling as it has 2 wires, so should be able to get Astra 1, Hotbird and Astra 2 (for freesat).
My main concern is I'll get the kit wrong due to my lack of understand and brain freeze due to information overload!!!
If anyone could offer some guidance, that would be fab. I'm still debating what extra a motorised dish would give, and if it was worth buying a HD receiver. Any thoughts on this would be great also.
Thanks
