Default SKY UK & DIGI TV with two LBNs on one dish?

Hi there,

I'm a newbie in sattelites (learning fast) and just asking whether possible to catch these two, from London UK, with one fix dish (big one I assume) and two LNB's on a multibracket:
1. Sky UK on Astra 2A/2B/2D & Eurobird 1 at 28.2°E
lyngsat. com/packages/skyuk. html
2. Digi TV on Thor 5 & Intelsat 10-02 at 0.8°W
lyngsat. com/packages/digi. html

Thanks.

I have had 1w, 5e, 13e, 19e, 23.5e and 28e on a Triax TD110, so yes it is possible.

Much better, cheaper and easier to use two dishes I think, as you could go down to an 80cm for 1w, and a minidish for 28E.

Thanks Robo, I imagined it's easier with two dishes, but they both should go on front of house, which I'd like to avoid.

Rick1980, from your experience, do you think a smaller dish will do, or I should stick to no less than 110cm?

Thanks very much for help.

You would need the 110cm, as it is nearly a 30 degree seperation. TBH I would recommend a Wave Frontier as these are designed with a oblongated parabola and sub reflector so as to focus on several satellites at one time. They do a 90cm dish that would do the job very nicely. Would also allow you to easialy pick up other sats that might be of interest. You can get upto 16 lnb's on these dishes
