new dish for F1, what else am I getting?

    I currently have a (communal) soup strainer dish pointed at 28.2e, plugged into a vu+duo

    I am thinking of getting a dish of my own, and putting it at the back of the flat.
    I want something that points to 19.2e, to get formula 1

    I am in Cork, and am not sure what size dish I will need.

    If I am going to be getting a large dish, I am wondering what else I would be getting on 13e, if I was to put a second lnb up.
    I have looked at lyngsat, and don't know what is shown on the channels available.

    Also how do I go about setting up the dish?
    Do I attempt to point the dish at 16.1, and have the lnb's offset from the centre of the dish?

    I can't offer you too much advice on the technical side except that an 80cm dish might be OK and there are other threads here about multi lnb set ups. This Youtube video (1 of 3) gives a flavour of what is available FTA on 13 East. Very little in English and lots of stuff you might look at once out of interest but would not be for regular viewing.

    Hi,
    I just took down my 80cm dish and had it alligned for 13/19/28 (I'm also in cork so a 80cm for you would be fine aswell) I basically alligned 19 first and then once that was set alligned the other 2 around it. 28 was ok, 13 was more difficult.

    Plenty of patience is required :)

    Good point about F1. I forgot Mr Greedy has it from this season. I suppose 19.2 east is best bet via a german FTA provider? Is it RTL it is on?
