Here is my setup in Benitachell, a small town on the Costa Blanca, Spain.
The first picture is of my three rooftop dishes. Fron left to right, a 1m elliptical with offset LNBs pointing at Astra 1 and Hotbird. Next, and installed by ViaDigital cowboys on my terrestrial aerial pole, a 60cm pointing at Hispasat, then a 1m with twin LNB pointing at Astra 2/Eurobird.
The second picture is of the front of my 2,4m dish pointed at Astra 2 / Eurobird, and needed to get the weak signals from Astra 2D. It has an Invacom quad LNB.
The third picture is of the rear of the 2,4m dish, showing the guy ropes which help in stabilising it during high winds.
The fourth shows the 4 cables from that dish being taken through trunking to protect them from the ravages of the Spanish weather and to enable them to be buried underground if necessary.
Finally, the two equipment in my living room. A NAD amplifier, Nakamichi cassette recorder, Pace DS430N and Thomson DS4210 Digiboxes. On the other side, a modified (external hard disk, sitting on the top) Pace 3100 Sky + box, Philips S-VHS recorder, Humax F1-Fox receiver and Philips DVD player.
The Humax deals with the Hotbird, Astra 1 and Hispasat downleads by means of a DisecQ switch. The Thomson has an input from the small Sky dish; the DS430N has one, and the Sky + two, inputs from the 2,4m dish. The TV is a Philips Matchline 32" widescreen.
The remaining Sky downleads go to into my music room come workshop, where I have other digiboxes in varying states of repair as well as a much loved and never-to-be-replaced hi-fi system based around a Quad 44 / 606 with Rogers LS3a speakers.
