[QUOTE="garym71, post: 414698, member: 262344"] You'll have to excuse my ignorance as I'm a complete novice when it comes to satellite systems/equipment but I have what is probabaly a some very straight forward questions which will probably be a doddle for the experts to answer. I currently have standard Sky installed in my house (not Sky+) which has a 53cm x 43cm minidish mounted on the outside of the house with one single-feed LNB attached. What I now want is to also be able to receive Russian TV channels (ones listed in [URL="http://www.satforfree.com/weblog2/pivot/entry.php?id=8"]this link[/URL]). For now I'm not worried about the actual reciever equipment which I will worry about later but what I need to try and work out is what Dish and LNB setup I need. I don't really want 2 dishes on my house so I would like to use a single dish. I know from research that the Sky dish is really too small so I will need to replace it with something larger. So the initial questions I have... [LIST=1] [*]Can I receive Sky (on [B]Astra 28.2E[/B]?) and also the main Russian channels (on [B]Hotbird 13E[/B]) using a single fixed dish? [*]If the answer is yes to the first question then for additional Russian channels broadcast on [B]Sirus 5E[/B] could I still use the same fixed dish? [*]If I will be able to utilise a single dish for either of the first 2 questions then would an 80cm one most likely be sufficient for my needs? (location-wise I'm based just south of Oxford if it makes much difference) [*]For receiving signals from multiple satellites on a single fixed dish can I use a multi-feed LNB (dual, quad etc.) for the individual satellite feeds or will I need a separate LNB for each satellite feed?[/LIST]Any help/advice on this would be greatly appreciated :) [/QUOTE]
