lnb's and multiple receivers

    Hi

    I currently have two dishes, on hitting 28.2e and the other (with multiblock) hitting 19e and 13e.

    I want to use all three birds on two receivers (diseqc switch style) . I dont think I can do this with the current setup.

    I was thinking of dropping the multibock and replacing it with 2 twin lnbs (and holders for lnb's). I would need to replace the sky single lnb with a quad.
    This is all getting expensive very quickly...

    is there another way to run two receivers?

    Cheers
    - Dru

    A Triax dish with multi lnb holder and 3 twin output lnbs with two 3 or 4 way diseq switches will work, cant really think of a cheaper way out and you get to have one less dish.

    I have roughtly what Tony suggests.

    One receiver is on 4 Way diseqec switch.

    The 13 and 19 are single LNBs. The 28E is actually a Sky minidish quad with the spade adaptor unscrewed. All on one dish.



    My 4th LNB (15W) is on another dish, but if it stops raining I'm putting a 23E LNB on bracket instead as Casablanca is moving to this. Then I'll receive 4 satellites on one Dish.

    The multiblocs are inflexible. The Quad LNB feeds PC card via Diseqc switch and 3 x Digiboxes.

    Really what you suggest is the solution unless you want two motorised dishes each with one LNB.
