[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 529717, member: 256551"] Hi, First off, you have not made it clear whether you will still be connecting your Sky+ box or not. I will assume not for the moment. One problem with what you are going to buy is that you have selected a single LNB and a monoblock. It can be done that way, but is tricky. Much better to get three single LNBs and keep it simple. The 3 LNBs would feed a 4x1 Diseqc switch (which you also need) with a single cable going to the Technomate. To put 3 LNBs on a dish, you need a suitable bracket, it is best to chose a dish for which the manufacture produces a bracket for it, Triax do for their TD range, and there are others. If you wanted to keep the Sky box going, then get 1 quad LNB and two singles. A motorised system is better as it gives more flexibility, but not suitable for a Sky box, so you would have to use the existing Sky dodgydish separately. Robbo:) [/QUOTE]
