[QUOTE="animabella, post: 174861, member: 210945"] Hi good people, I need your help. I am new to this forum and I have an existing SKY subscriptoin and conventional dish with Thomson receiver. I really want to watch FTA Italian channels as well (RAI 1,2,3) as well as retain my SKY channels. I am based in London. I have read here that I might be able to replace my single LNB with dual LNB setup and set the central one to Hotbird and the other to Astra. What I am unsure of is, can i keep the existing standard dish and digibox or would i need a new receiver? I am not in a position to go down the motorised dish route. It sounds like I would need a dual LNB input receiver or a switch? I'd really appreciate any advice you can offer.:) Thanks Michael [/QUOTE]
