Sly F1 What do I need

[digicon]

tbh if i can do it and get other channels as I rent i wont be able to add another dish to the house

you dont need another dish just use the sky dish thats up and move it round to 19.2? east and get yourself a cheap FTA receiver of the Bay

I already use this dish for normal freesat as my digital service round here is complete shit so would have to be something i could use for both

Tell me more please, Ive got a dish pointing at sky but that is not 19'e is it ?

Thanks

Sky Digital is at 28'e, RTL is on 19'e (which was the position we all used for analogue sky).

RTL is showing all the F1 events FTA so you need to be able to pick that position up, I guess 2 ways.

1. Motorize your dish (if your reciever supports it)
2. Install a 2nd dish pointing at 19'e (mini dish should do) and use a disque switch (or even a manual one if your reciever don't support it).

If you are looking at a cheaper alternative to get f1 for less than 35 a month, then for 35 you could buy and fit a 2nd dish and even swap the coax manually before a race and watch all races for the season.

Not the ideal solution but you could always Tape or cable tie another LNB to your Quad thats on there now might need a bit of padding in between to get the spacing right but it will work.

or you can either buy a multi-lnb arm or try and cobble one together yourself

Not sure if a mini dish aimed at 28' could handle so much of an offset of 10' ?

Maybe aim the dish midway (say 24') then offset both lnb's around 5'.

But if you don't use 28'e freesat, then just realign to 19'e.

No it can do it the actual elliptical design of the Zone1 &2 Sky Dish is ideal for multi-lnb setups rather that the A-typical Oval dish we all use

Didn't realize they could go that far, thanks for the info.

Thanks for the info, the problem is I cant run another cable Im not allowed, my dish, 1meter oval is now pointing to sky 28'e and we use it for sky, could I make an bracket and stick another LNB on and some sort of switch at the dish end to switch ??

Yes, a disque switch can be fitted at the dish end so you can use a single coax run.

20 degree Multibracket, would this work?

yes you can BUT a sly box cannot operate it so this may give you troubles if using a sly box

yes it will , with hobby sat boxes and a 4 way diseqc switch (but not a sly box)

Have a look on Ebay but be careful of clones there are many about most come with a 'Gift' if you look.
