[QUOTE="zg3409, post: 809501, member: 378078"] First you need to be living west of plymouth to be sure of a signal. If you are east of Plyouth then you may or may not get a signal. The futher east the less chance. Do not use a mesh dish. You need a solid non fibreglass dish, probably a least 80cm in diameter. At 20Ghz a dish like this is much harder to align so be aware of that. As you know the receiver must be capable of DVB-S2, and for your other needs USALS etc. Regarding the LNB frequency ANY receiver will work. Simply input UNIVERSAL LNB, then set up a transposnder for 10.765 vertical 25000 1/2 FEC. Ideally align the dish first using a normal LNB to a normal 9E transponder and then swap over to the LNB to the Saorsat one. This way you know you are pointing in the right direction. When you finally get Saorsat working you can mount a normal LNB and a Saorsat LNB on the one motorised dish and switch between then using a DiSEqC or manual switch. As one of the LNBs will not be at the centre of the dish you may need to offset the actual posistion in the sky by a little. So for example you may need to set Saorsat to 14 degrees on USALS. Let us know how you get on. [/QUOTE]
