[QUOTE="Ken Barlow, post: 630598, member: 302679"] I have a 80cm dish,and a Echostar DSB-2200 reciever,and a Sky digibox.On the the dish there is a quad lnb setup.Two lnb`s,one is aimed at Hotbird 13E,which go`s to the Echostar box,and the other lnb is aimed at Astra 28.2 for freesat channels on the digibox.I assumed that I wouldnt be able to get anymore channels on the Echostar other than the FTA ones from Hotbird13E,but when I was messing around in the Echostar settings the other day,I realised that you can change the lnb`s to other sattelites,scan them for more channels,then recive them.Not quite sure how this works,but Ive tried with a few other ones now,like Thor,Sirius etc,and got more channels.So first question is how is this possible?Is it that the dish is actually pointed at a whole bunch of sat`s,and you can choose which one without moving dish?Secondly,what other sats are worth watching with FTA stuff,without moving the dish,as there is virtually nothing worth watching on Hotbird 13E FTA!
