[QUOTE="BGonaSTICK, post: 96148, member: 176912"] A motor with a quad LNB would be fine, but the main advantages of the multi-LNB setup you suggested are that it's silent in operation, and that switching between satellites is near-instant. I'm not trying to sell you on either approach. Only you can decide which you fancy most. Three fixed quad LNBs and one 4-way DiSEqC switch for each receiver - or to be more accurate TUNER (up to a maximum of four) would do you. One output from each of the three LNBs would go into each 4-way DiSEqC switch (leaving one input spare) with a single cable then running to your receiver's tuner from each switch output. Not sure how your twin-tuner setup would work, i.e. if both would have the capability of DiSEqC 1.1 switching, or if just one tuner would?!?! If only one had DiSEqC, then that could get complicated. :confused: Depending on your exact location, and the footprint and relative strength of the satellite signal(s) you are receiving, I would guess that a 1m dish would be a reasonable starting point. There are several good manufacturers of dishes around this size, and all I can say is that I'm very happy with my Triax dishes. Triax also make matching multi-LNB brackets for these. STICK [/QUOTE]
