If you only want UK channels the a dish off ebay with a quad lnb, fixing kit and cable is about ?22-?23. dishpointer dot com will give you the line and then you will need to fine tune with some assistance. One at the dish another by the tele. (you will need a pre tuned box for this)

Why can't you?

[DW190]

Not for the purpose the op is intending.

Different boxes requesting different sats would conflict.

...but that doesn't stop you from using a quad on a motorised dish as long as you know the limitations.

For example, it's possible to use the box in the living room to point the dish & just use the one in the bedroom to watch whatever is on that satellite. The bedroom box would have the USALS & DiSEqC parameters disabled.

You know the limitations and I know the limitations but the op would need to do quite a lot of reading.

Being a new entry into sat and having a motorised dish and two boxes multiroom with wrong settings would be a route for disaster.

thanks for all the info guys i understand and new about the two boxes and the fact they can only set to one sat at a time.

i must say very impressed with this site as far as getting answers and help

thanks to all.
