Im assuming you have a fixed dish at 28 east.
So the options are another dish pointing at 13 east or a motorised dish setup

yes you can watch 13 east,you DO need a motorised setup and you can watch most of Europe,there,s not just over priced sly up in the heavens.

Mate, get a dual LNB, this will pick up Hotbird and Astra fo you. You wont need another dish.

A dual LNB generally means that the LNB has 2 outputs, just like a quad LNB means 4 outputs. It won't allow you to watch 13e & 28e. If you mean a monoblock, I don't think they are available for 15 degrees seperation.

A second LNB on a bracket is only really suitable if you have a dish bigger than a $ly zone 1 mini dish.

If you cannot find a channel list for Hotbird, you can add your own satellite parameters manually.

In the installation menu, select "satellite list". Press green button (Add). Give it a name & enter Longitude (013.0E). The DiSEqC & motor settings depend on how you are going to set up your dish (2 LNB's or motorised).
