[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1080727, member: 176704"] [USER=330868]@Adam792[/USER] Many thanks - looks like that clarifies what the lady has been looking at! [USER=414483]@krys_k1[/USER] Ref the above and the dish - the existing dish will get all she needs on 19E until the two channels move to Hotbird on 15th Jan. After that it would need feeds from 19E and 13E to keep access to all those channels. If the existing dish is a standard UK "Zone 1" or"Zone 2" dish then you [I]might[/I] be able to fit a 2nd LNB onto it for 13E, but the 2nd one would be very close to/touching the existing one and that would compromise reception of 13E channels. A better solution would be a standard "non-Sky" 60 cm dish with a "6 degree monobloc" LNB (that's 2x LNBs in a single housing with the beam of one offset by 6 degrees,, with a built-in DiSEqC "A/B" switch to select between them) as that would pick up both sats pretty well and should be easier to set up than 2x separate LNBs. The latter would look similar to the Triax TD78 dish shown in Image 5 of the "[URL='https://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/threads/we-see-no-dishes.176770/']We see no dishes![/URL]" thread that I posted on Christmas Day as that has a 6 degree monobloc for 19E and 13E!
