which t90 dish bundle?

    Both those bundles include single LNBs so are pretty much the exact same.
    Twin LNBs along with 2Diseqc switches are the way to go if you are using a 2 tuner box like a Vu+ Duo or ET9200
    Or if feeding one satellite to more than one receiver then quads allow plenty of expansion space.

    As I understand it you are looking to add 19.2'e to view Nascar, can I ask what receiver do you have?
    Or intend to use?
    And what satellites do you wish to receive?
    As this will have a huge bearing on whats the best set up for you, as while the T90 is a fantastic dish.....if you are only after Nascar on 19'2 and FTA/Sky 28.2 it is a massive amount of overkill ;)

    thanks banie, i currently have a technomate tm1000d and what i reckon is a 60cm dish at 28.2. I was just thinking to maybe do it right the first time than choping and changing dishes and recievers for the next few years?

    if i were looking at just 19.2e and 28.2e what route would you go down

    Well if thats the box you plan on running with then if I was in your position as its a single tuner.
    I'd give twin LNBs a miss(unless I was planning on multiroom too)
    I'd go with an 80cm dish and 2 LNBs into a 4/1 Diseqc switch.
    The extra 2 diseqc slots allow easier expansion, no reason you couldn't add 9e or 13e even 16e is doable now on an 80cm dish depending on your location ;)
    But an 80cm will easily do what you're after, and if its just 19.2 and 28.2 you are after I'm fairly certain that spread could easily be attained on your existing 60cm dish given how strong both those birds are.

    80cm is the minimum really for that spread/set up. There are some weaker transponders on both 28 and 19 east, so to be on the safe side 80cm+ is the way to go.

    I agree 100% that the 80cm is the way to go.
    Was just pointing out that it is doable at a push on the 60cm, I should have pointed out that while possible....
    Rain would wipe it out! LOL
