hi,
I live in gloucester. is it possible to have an 80cm orbital dish with twin lnb's 1 pointing at 28.2 astra for freesat and 1 towards hotbird 13e or is the gap too large? also in the case of this and others (astra1 and hotbird) i understand in a simple system you then wire the 2 lnbs to a diseqc switch and then your 1 wire to your freesat box. my question is this: does that 1 wire simply go into the freesat box with diseqc protocol which then tunes both lnbs in through menu system? if this is the case does the end user then just flick through the channels in order, with the box automatically switching lnbs? Again, this being the case if i wanted twin feed freesat boxes for recording in say 4 bedrooms, do i get 2x oct lnb's with a diseqc switch 16 to 8 and then wire each box 2 feeds? im confused! please help as i said im new so go easy on the english !
thankyou!
