An installer will no doubt reply properly but a little more information would be helpful. Is it the $ly installation in your profile that you're wanting moved? If not, what is it? If you're after different satellites what do you have in mind?

If it is the sky setup you cannot have a motorised system using a sky set top box but there are a number of other possibilities in order to watch F1 on 19.2 East but you will require equipment

80cm Motorised.
Several small Dishes.
Much else.

Your profile says you have Sky, so your dish is aligned to the 28.2/28.5E position.

RTL is on 19.2E

But using a BSkyB box for Channels not on 28.2/28.5E is not a "friendly" exercise and you really need a proper Receiver.

Also, are you giving up Sky, or what? If not, isn't it going to be a nuisance re-aligning the dish all the time?

Usual way is to either bin the Sky dish and fit an 80cm (ish) proper dish with either a multi-LNB arm or a Motor.

Or a second small dish.

Not only that o/p has multiroom so presumably has kids, so I suspect motorised is not an option then in anycase
It is multi lnb arm and 2nd lnb + digital satellite receiver or new separate dish and lnb + digital satellite receiver required

Multi-room for misses. Yes going to be a pain moving dish but will do if needed. Can I just move dish I have then watch f1 on tv using sky box? I am abit thick so need it as simple as possible. Thankyou very much

As simple as possible - a fixed 60cm dish on Astra 1 with an additional receiver.

If you move the dish the misses will not be able to see her TV, you need either another dish and lnb or a multlnb arm
