[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 784169, member: 176256"] There are two Astras. Monoblocks are for fairly narrow differences in satellite position and a six degree monoblock would be needed between Astra 1 at 19E and Hotbird at 13E... BUT $ly is at Astra 2 at 28E and anyway a $ly minidish isn't really big enough to get a decent signal from a secondary satellite (even if you could get a monoblock to fit). It can be done but you would need a larger satellite dish, preferably 80cm but 70cm would be ok most of the time, and you would need two separate LNB on a multi-LNB holder. I have an 80cm dish with LNBs pointing at 13E (primary position), 19E and 28E. You could run two leads or put a DSeqc switch at the dish end if you only wanted a single lead. [/QUOTE]
