Re: need some advice on what to chose
one quick other question i have,
i have a spare sky digital dish lying around is there any use for it before i buy any stuff. I was thinking if i put it up near my main dish at different degrees i could test it out that way. would that work? i am also going to take a few pics of the way my roof is to give a clear picture of what my possibilities be. |

Re: need some advice on what to chose
Yes a sky digi minidish will be fine for experimenting with. You should get signals from 13E 19E 5W some from 5E, 7E 30W etc.

Re: need some advice on what to chose
It's only low voltage, and won't do you any harm. It does make your fingers tingle for a while though!
