Thanks for the advice. I had a look for some parts the last few hours, and are now able to get a dish, 4 LNBs, 3 Diseqc and all cables for more then £120 cheaper. And thats delivered from Germany. I wasn't aware that the T90 requires planning permission. Is that for all 90cm dishes? At the...

Can anyone rate on the stuff I'm about to order: 1x WAVE FRONTIER 90CM TOROIDAL DISH 3x Octagon 4 in 1 DiSEqC Switch 4x ICECRYPT 0.1db Universal Quad LNB Also, are there any shops who are selling ready made small lenght cables? I would only need cables to connect the LNBs and DiSEqC switch, so...

Ah, sorry, I think I understood now. Each DiSEqC switch has a connection from EACH LNB. I thought all 4 Quad connections are going into the same. So I only need 3 DiSEqC switches, as I only have 3 receivers, correct?

Thanks to all, there is still something not clear for me. I do understand that I need 4x Quad LNBs and 4x DiSEqC switch. But how are the 4 DiSEqC switches connected? Please have a look at this hifi diagram :D LNB1 -> 4 cables into DiSEqC -> DiSEqC has one output -> ? LNB2 -> 4 cables into...

Thanks so far, we will use DM 800, 8000 and 7025 receivers. There are currently 3 cable leads going from the current setup, which we don't want to change, and re-use them. So, if I understood correctly, I need a 80-90cm dish, 4 quad LNBs, and 4 diseqc switches. But how do I end up with said 3...

Thanks satelliteman, I heard that I would be better off with a quadro LNB, as they split lo/hi signals, and then use a multiswitch to distribute these signals to the receivers. Is there a difference between such multiswitch and a diseqc switch? So 80cm dish would be ok for that, or too small?

Hi, our current setup is a Sky minidish, connecting 3 receivers in the house. We want to change this to a much bigger setup. Here is what we've planned: Replace the existing dish with a 80cm one. Satellites it should receive are: Eurobird 9A 9' Hot Bird 13' Astra 19'2 Sky These 4 Satellites...

Hi, I know this is not exactly the correct version, but there are a few good points on how to spot a DM 800 clone. These rules might go for the DM 8000 as well. _http://wiki.blue-panel.com/index.php/Differences_from_DM800_HD_PVR_to_Cloneboxes Also, there is a Plugin available from DM itself...
