hi folks, i want to get something setup to receive Polish FTA. I'm based in South West UK, near Bristol.
I'm quite new at all this as have never even had SKY, but thats not something i want anyway. I have done a bit of research though & it seems most of the channels are on Hotbird 13E & Astra.
So, i'm guessing that i need something like the following
A) a 90cm dish (not sure if some models are better than others ?)
Decent FTA Receiver
C) a way of switching between Astra & Hotbird without having to go outside and change the position of the dish
i've heard that the Technomate 1500CI is a good FTA Receiver for this type of thing, is that correct & can it support the switching ? I have read that some people bought a Monobloc LNB to do the switching, while some have a twin LNB, or is this the same thing ?
Any help would be really good & does anyone know a good source to buy the equipment ? I'm assuming that a local satellite services guy could hep set this up for me.
cheers in advance
