Hi,
Is this possible on the one dish and if so what size dish really don't want to go over 80cm and defo don't want motorized setup as 28.2 will go to a couple of rooms

Hi Psygnosis,

Before I got a motorised dish, I used to have exactly that setup. You'll need a four-way Diseqc switch to control the three LNB's.

I am going to get some one to install as I wouldnt have a clue. Just getting ready for the football next season want rid of NTL after seeing by dads bbc freesat HD quality.

So going to get a dual 28.2 and the others to the main room.
And use a bbc freesat hd pvr when it comes out
and a technomate for the football now just to sort card

Can you give me a idea of
Dish Size
How many cables running to main room would it be 2 for 28.2 and then 2 for the other 2 lnbs? or can they be combined
At a guess what would the price be?

Tony

Dish size is 80cm, you need two cables for the pvr, cables cannot be split or combined although a receiver may select from two or more sat positions using a diseq switch.

As Tony said, an 80cm dish should be fine. If you want Premiership football and you don't want to go down the SKY or Setanta route, your only option with an 80cm dish is a sub to DigitAlb SuperSport broadcasting on 16E.

The problem there is that it is only three degrees from both 13E or 19E and with normal LNB's that would be too close, although it should be OK with the 'slim' type.

I'd use a quad for the 28.2 though
