[QUOTE="spiney, post: 183387, member: 192438"] You would be able to get Astra1 and most (all?) of Hotbird - inc RAI FTA, no problem there - using a monobloc on 60cm dish into a diseqc receiver. (I've got only 40 cm minidish, nevertheless can get RAI FTA no problem, but many other Hotbird channels are too weak on that, so marginal, reception depends very much on weather!). For all 3 sats together, you can use 3 lnbs on a bracket, but the angular separation is then too much for a 60cm dish, and you should use 80-90 cm. You could use a 3 way diseqc switch into Techy, or a monobloc instead, and then a 2nd separate cable from a single lnb to the SKy digibox. There are bracket kits for 80 cm channel master and triax dishes, might also fit other brands, not sure, but are expensive. If possible, easier is use a monobloc on existing 60cm dish to Techy, then just buy a new minidish (they're cheap!) for SKy receiver, and you'll need another cable of course. [/QUOTE]
