[QUOTE="Doc Sarah, post: 912928, member: 403157"] a) What is a IMHO? b) Actually, I love the 'technical' side as it allows me to research and be more cognisant in the language, terms and descriptions necessary to converse knowledgeably and ask more questions necessary to achieve a robust installed system so do not refrain from discussing subjects in a technical sense or you can use metaphor as previously explain by in the spotlight theory, it all helps! c) There is no concern in finical expenditure if I achieve my goal in obtaining the system access necessary to give me all the channels I am seeking! I only mentioned the prior amount because it was exorbitant in my opinion for the installation he has completed which only has 3 LNB's mounted! d) Ok, now I think I understand what you are saying! e) You are saying that the 10 LNB's you have stated when focused on the ten satellites it will give me access to all the 'main' channels I need? f) Just how many channels would that be approximately? g) The EyeTV (one of the 4 tuners connected to the system) indicates over 6000 scrambles and free to air stations right now. [url]https://www.elgato.com/en/eyetv/eyetv-sat[/url] and [url]https://www.elgato.com/en/eyetv/eyetv-3[/url]! The system has only 3 LNB's mounted and follows: 28.5 Astra DiSEqC number A=1 19.2 Astra DiSEqC number B=2 13E Hotbird DiSEqC number C=3 h) 1 x 1,8m motorized dish that seems so huge? We have been badgering the Ajuntament ([url]http://www.begur.cat/web/esp/[/url]) thats the City Hall for months to question the noise abatement ordinance and they finally agreed to a dish mounted on a pole in the my back yard on a concrete slab. However, it still has to meet code and noise abatement issues! I am exploring the possibilities of using a motor pointed at satellites more to the west of my location?
