[QUOTE="Marco4, post: 1078674, member: 414342"] Thanks to the reply from both of you. You are correct that the existing dishes point to 28E. My original (and incorrect) information was from this site that shows that Freesat is available from Eutelsat 16A at 16.0°E: [URL="https://www.lyngsat.com/packages/Freesat.html"]Freesat on Eutelsat 16A at 16.0°E - LyngSat[/URL] . Evidently Freesat in the Uk is available from 28.2°E Astra 2. I spoke to a satellite dish installer and he suggested that I could use a multisatelite dish like this one: [URL="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cahors-Bisat-90cm-multi-satellite/dp/B002MUPSGC"]Cahors Big Bisat 90cm SMC multi satellite dish GREY: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics[/URL] and this woudl enable me to access both Freesat at 28E and Cosmote 9E. Do you agree with this? If yes, is there any disadvantage in using a multisatelite dish? The flat I live in is at a converted terraced house, where I own a share of the freehold, and I am also a director of the freehold company. Thus, getting permission to get this done will not be a problem. I could add another dish if I wish to do so. However, I prefer to use one dish, even if it were larger, so that I can access services from more than one satelitte. [/QUOTE]
