No Dish Yet

Hi Guys,

 

This is my first of probably many posts here. :bye:

 

I am in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

 

I have a WINTV NOVA-S2 and I want to get as many FTA HD channels as possible.

 

I intend to connect to the largest static dish I can get and hope to get hotbird/eurobird (same thing?) and Astra minimum.

 

Are there any other satellite clusters possible/worth aiming for?

 

I would like to future proof the dish for Sky+/HD - does that mean I need to have 2 LNBs fr Astra alone?

 

Do I need to use separate LNBs or would a quad LNB pick up Hotbird and Astra?

 

Thanks in advance! ;)

hi

hotbird 13 east and astra 19 east is easy with a monoblock (2 lnbs on 1 fitting 6 degrees apart)

as is 1 west and 5 east.

i used to run two monoblocks on a fixed dish for these sats.

sky is at 28 east, so another 9 degrees from 19 east so i dont know if thats possible.

best bet is to go motorised,costs next to nothing and is relatively easy to set up yourself.
