    look for a thingy called a diseqc switch. You can get a 2 way one or a 4 way one. It allows you to connect up 2,3,or 4 dishes to this switch and run them all into the receiver through one cable. However your receiver has to be able to support this also. Look at your receiver manual and see if it supports Diseqc.

    there's not much point 'daisy chaining' two dishes when you probably only need one.

    First decide what sats you want to receive.

    He may want to set up one of 28.2 for FTA and another on Astra 1 or hotbird.
