Upgrading from satellite setup to include Saorview

    Is this all I need to upgrade my current setup to receive Saorview?

    There was a Sky dish installed when I moved in. I bought a triple tuner and connected the 2 satellite cables to it and have all the UK freeview channels. Record did work but I'm going to get that working again myself.

    Anyway I was thinking of getting Saorview too as I don't have the Irish channels.

    I've put together this shopping list. Apart from cable clips, screws etc. am I forgetting anything?

    The aerial is suitable for my area. The plan is to combine one of the sat cables with the aerial and run through one of the existing cables. Then split them again at the tv.

    The pole was to connect the aerial and satellite on the same fixture. It looks like there might be a way to just extend the current satellite pole? I haven't been up there to look yet (satellite is just above kitchen extension so I don't have to climb on the roof).

    That pole is for extending over a gutter.

    Rest looks fine. The aerial doesnt necessarily have to be beside the dish. The cable run will just be longer to the dish/combiner box.

    Sorry thought I had the normal pole in the basket. Saw couplers too for the pole?

    Had a look at satellite bracket today and the pole faces downwards. Not sure if I can connect another pole to it. Might just stick it somewhere else and run a new cable. Thanks.
