Just out of interest

how many channels are you guys actually receiving.

I guess I mean with good conditions and with 8-16 lnbs up picking up a good selections of sats - how many channels are possible?

cheers

Lots and Lots. In all honesty I haven't counted them.

Same number as if you had an 80cm motorised dish receiving from those satellites, but that's not the point. The T90 makes your system user friendly (especially for other members of the family who probably aren't sat freaks like you). For example I've got a bouquet called "French" which is a mix of channels from mainly 5ºW, and 19ºE, plus a few odd channels from a handful of other satellites. I have put them in the bouquet in the order that I chose which made sense to me rather than placing them in an order based on which way the dish is facing at any given instant. I've got another bouquet called "Movies" and that has channels from 45ºE, 42ºE, 28ºE, 26ºE, 7ºW and a handful of others. The T90 allows me to list those channels in alphabetical order and still get on the next channel within 1 second when zapping. Obviously you can do the same with multiple dishes, but when you already have several dishes decorating your property putting up another 10 or so might not go down too well (with you know who).

Have you got normal sized lnbs for 19e,16e and 13e or does one of them have to be a slimline lnb ?

3 degree separation works fine with typical universal LNBs; no need for slimline.
