    At the minute we have sky installed with a single lnb on the dish. we also have an old sky dish from the analogue days. i would like to put this dish back up and on a motor to be able to recieve football at 3pm on saturday from the fta channels.

    how much will it cost to put the dish back up and get a reciever with a cam slot?

    the sky dish is a standard dish from the old analogue days so i think it is 80cm but not sure. would i need a bigger dish to get the channels at 16E?

    thanks for any help

    FTA channels don't need a CAM ....

    16E, 19E you can get on one dish, even getting 28.2 too. But not a 80cm / 90cm, as the closest the birds can be is about 5 degrees.

    26E needs a 1.2m dish possibly.

    The last time I looked at 16E the signals also weak.

    I get 13E, 19E and 28E all on one old 80cm/90cm dish from Sky analog days.
