    Sat setup advice please....lnbs

    Hi guys,I'm gonna go for a sat setup here in Cork and want a little advice/pointers on the hardware.I want to find hotbird 13, astra 19 or eurobird 28 on a fixed Triax 88/90 cm dish.Will I need 3 seperate lnbs or can I get a combined triple lnb.I'm a newb to this and will be setting up myself,can I also ask for a reliable seller and a link to the lnb's that I'll need.i guess theres different types of lnb but I just want to reach the 3 sats above.Pointers and tips greatly accepted.
    Thanx,
    Freck..."N3 victim Ireland."
    P.S. I've a 500s clone and a 600s genuine box, which of these is suitable image wise.Are they more sat images for the 500 and is the 600 more complex.I know the functions of these as I've used them for years on cable but 600 images are few and far between but I suppose thats on cable,sat is a bigger arena imo.

    if you going to have more than 2 lnb,s
    you can get a monoblock lnb that does 13.0 and 19.2 east in one
    but still you want 28.2
    so have a look through here
    LNB page for satellite dish LNBs. 0.2dB LNB 40mm C120 flange LNBs from the Satellite Superstore UK. Low prices. Cheap Sky LNBs, feedhorns. C Band LNB. Big discounts
    to get and idea of what you may need
    dm800-s=1.1 m triax motorised dish=titanium twin lnb

          Would be worth a buy for both tuners even tho N3 has ~~~~ed up the cable side.

            you can only use one tuner at a time
            as a switch on the back to change from one tuner to another

              One more thing Westkill will technomate Diseqc motor work on a motorised system with a dreambox running it.I mean if the motor is technomate will you need a technomate receiver aswell or will it work anyway once its a Diseqc motor.Sorry for seeming like a total dope but that just came to mind.
