same satellite for astra2d + hotbird

Diarmuid · 2010-03-03 08:13:28

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to pick up both astra2d (28.2 east) and hotbird (13 east) with the same 80cm satellite. I know I will need to hook up a few LNB's but I'm curious to know if it will work without a motor? Anyone have this setup? (Apologies if this was asked before, I googled and checked the faq)

A satellite dish like this Visiosat would suit your requirements, add a DiSEqC switch for instant switching between LNBs and a FTA (non Sky recever) and you should be sorted.

Triax TD78 plus Traix rail plus 2 LNBs and a diseqc switch is all you need to get these 2 satellites, point the dish at Hotbird 13east
