I currently have an old Lidl Silvercrest 57cm dish and single focus LNB on Hotbird. I recently got an Edision Proton LED Receiver to upgrade to HD channels. I Have a NIkkai dual focus monoblock which I got cheap when Maplin closed their shops and wish to install it on a newly ordered 80cm Triax dish (TDS 80A 800mm Steel Satellite Dish - 120508). Will this be suitable to get Hotbird and Astra 19, I know the monoblock is designed for this but will it work being a cheapo and with this dish? Also any advice on installation? I installed the single focus LNB and dish myself with some help from a friend but have never installed a dual focus monoblock LNB before. Which LNB goes in the bracket for example the left or right looking from the rear? Is it easy to align on the signals? Should I line the primary focus on Hotbird or Astra 19? I take it I do not need a seperate diseqc switch as I assume it is built in to the LNB? I have a Satlink WS 6933 meter . I ask as I have to go up ladders to install it and wish to prepare as well as I can before starting the job.
