[QUOTE="Capn Trips, post: 130055, member: 195574"] I really appreciate all of the help and advice. If I understand correctly, under YOUR proposal, I need to buy (1) a new dish (a fancy toroidal one), (2) a bunch of new LNBs to connect my existing recievers in addition to (3) a NEW receiver with DiseqC capability. Under my FIRST idea, I'd need to buy (1) a motor (and a LOT of work figuring out how to arrange everything to get it to work. Under my alternative idea, I'd need to buy (1) a new (third) dish to cover 5E and 4W, and (2) a new cheapo receiver that may (but need not) have DiseqC capability. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't your proposal pretty darned expensive? However, as I think about it, your proposal should result in ALL FOUR BIRDS feeding the new DiseqC receiver (as well as one Hotbird feed to the AFN/PowerVu and three feeds for my Sky+ plus Sky boxes)? Hmm... sounds attractive. I suppose your proposal makes the most sense for a long-term solution , but I'm only here for three years and don't want to invest TOO much in a setup that I will be unable to use upon return to the US. On the other hand, three dishes hanging off the iside of the house is pretty much an eyesore, so hmmm...... Where is the Sky satellite located? A toroidal dish can cover all four at once? Sky, Hotbird (13E), Amos2(4W) and Sirius2(4.8E)? Thanks for all of the insights - I've been reading the FAQ's as well, but there's a LOT to digest. [/QUOTE]
