One dish, multiple sats - :/?

[aj4u]

Hi guys, looking for some advise.. I now have set up of

1m dish with motor connected to dm800hd
sky dish connected to dm500

using dm500 downstairs for the rents, and using dm800 in my room..

Now I want to be able to get more than just 19.2 and 28.2 e on my dm500, So I thought motorised dish again with biggerish dish, however some one has told me its possible to have a bigger dish using diseq switch for multiple lnb config...

only problem is i don't quite understand how many sats i'll be able to get, my aim is to get 9e 10e 13e 19.2e and 28.2e and if possible 1w (but i think not possible due to elevation of dish)...

My requirements are that I want to be able to run a quan lnb for 28.2e and rest not bothered...

Ok i live in southeast england - i think this is applicable here...

Finally I want to try and keep costs down as much as possible as this is just for a hobby( i get to install and set up a dish my self).. last one i had fitted ..

Please advise


thanks aj

For multi lnb, the best dishes are WaveFrontiers. Theyre T55 is about £100 for the dish.

You can do multi lnb on pretty much any dish, though for the stretch you want I would recommend a Triax TD110 if your not going to go for the wave frontier. Triax do a multi bracket for 4 lnb's, so 9/10e, 13e, 19e and 28e would not be a problem. 1w and 28e is pushing it to the limit, it's possible, but neither sat really has a great signal.

Satsid has pictures up of his T90 Satsid's dish setup, including the amazing Wavefrontier T90 to give you an idea of what the dish looks like.

ok, tbh if its sort of £100, id rather go for a motorised system, do u think the above is achievable with a 80cm dish and a diseq motor ?

thanks aj

Yes for those sats a motorised 80cm thould be fine, I'd maybe look at a TD88
