what do you call, "a standard dish" ?

if you wish to get those 2 sats, you would be better off with a 60cm or even better an 80cm dish

check these threads too

use a6 degree monoblock lnb aim the dish at 19.2 east and adjust the lnb till you get both sats

Had a look on eBay for one ?14. Therefore is it the case I would have 2 cables one for 28.2 and one for the new part I.e 13&19. Do you use some type of splitter? For the two cables

If you already have an LNB on your dish aimed at 28.2e and add the Mono-Block LNB pictured above then you will have two cables coming from your dish. You will need to buy a DiSEqC switch which will allow at least two LNB feeds to be screwed into it.

This will allow you to combine your two LNB feeds into the one input of your receiver. You then need to setup the DiSEqC part in the Satellite setup part of your receivers menu so that the receiver can switch between the two feeds.

DiSEqC switches are fairly cheap and not very hard to setup especially if you have your receivers manual to hand.

Not entirely accurate you cannot connect a monoblock lnb directly to a diseqc switch as the monoblock has a built in diseqc. You need another switch thingy in between which I can't remember the name of cause I'm getting old. I'm sure someone will enlighten is with name for this thingy (usually digicon)

You have to put in a 2 way DC Power pass splitter to use with the monoblock and Diseqc switch

Cheers for that Highlander & Digicon I only thought after posting that the monoblock would need to switch between it's two LNBs just the same as if it was two separate LNBs. Anyways all good info for the OP.

Is this what am looking for? That all I need?

Thanks

You will connect that to the single cable that comes out of the monoblock lnb. You can then connect 2 cables to the other side and into independent ports into the diseqc switch along with the single cable from your other lnb so you will have three cables going into the diseqc switch and one coming out to your stb

That ok?

You will need a 4 way to connect 3 lnb which is what you will have once you put the powerpass on the monoblock esentially splitting it into two seperate feeds and your lnb from 28.2
like this TECHNOMATE TM-4S DISEQC SWITCH 4X1 | eBay

Thanks m8 so just need that & monoblock lnb & a bracket to put them in and good to go?
