I'm with you there, I have 28.2, 19.2, 13 and 4.8 on a TD88, and hardly watch it at all!!
Just tweak it when no-one is watching tv..

Hi davvo. Cant believe you hardly watch the bloody thing. You must have better things to do then. If you like tinkering so much see if you can conjure up a magic patch that will open everything for us. Take care.

i have everything

Can I just jump in and ask would it be possible to have..
0.8w. 4.8E, 13E, 19.2E, 28.2E on the Force Wavefield 90cm dish?

Force Wavefield DS 90cm Multi LNB Satellite Dish from Aerial Shack by:

Cheers lads.

Hi. I think that 90cm dish should be ok but 210 pounds plus the cost of the LNB's, Diseqc switch and cables . Do you know how to set it up?? Me personally for around 50 pounds i would get a motor and get more sats/channels. The choice and cost is down to you really and what sort of setup you have in mind.
Regards. .

[cris808]

I currently have a motorised setup but I am expecting to move in the near future and the places I have looked at seem like they would not appreciate the minimal noise of the motor.

I am quite a channel flicker so the motor is always moving

It's good to know I could potentially receive 0.8W right up to 28.2E with some tinkering.

I am looking at alternatives too in regards to dishes but that one just seems the most 'simple'.

[Nutsandbolts]

Hi. If i were you before committing yourself to this dish from Aerial Shack ask questions before buying as it is does not come at a cheap price. With regards to the motor noise if your neighbours complain tell them to fit soundproof windows. Seriously though the motor noise nowadays are very quite compared to a few years ago. Imagine if your neighbours had to put up with my motorized system from 20 years ago. Were they noisy or what and very few satellites to go looking for. Today we are spoilt for choice.
Take care.

have a look here
you can see pictures of many multi sat setups
get yer hacksaw and spanners out
multi lnb setup - Google Search

Wow Davvo after looking at those pictures all i can say is thank god i have a motor. They look more complicated than Spaghetti Junction.. Nice one.

[davvo]

complicated no
a bit of thought and half brain needed

Hello Guys,
I have a fixed multi lnb dish TD110 [0.8w, 4.8e (main focus), 9.0e, 13.0e & 19.2e], is it possible if I motorize it and keep all the lnbs so that when I move the main lnb (4.8e) back to 4.8e from say 7.0e I can pick up channels from other fixed lnbs?
How can I make this dream possible (To use one dish as fixed dish/motorized dish) will I need two switches?

Impossible not to get into the complexities of angles and skew adjustment, it just wont work you would be better having a separate motorised dish to compliment your multi lnb setup.

Thanks very much for that.
I have heard it is possible to have a multi lnb motorize dish but the issue is receiver settings & wiring I hope someone else can shed some light on this (besides I already have 2 dishes I am not allowed a 3rd one by law)?
