[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 1066406, member: 178786"] Len, Welcome to the forum. For satellite feeds in general you need to have "multi satellite" capability. This can be achieved in a number of ways, firsly, a motorised dish that can be rotated around a central axis to lock onto satellites east and west.
