Multi Satellite System

    I am thinking of upgrading my Satellite system from Sky Digital.
    I have a 60cm Dish and a single LNB as I live in the South of the country.
    I wish to pick up more channels and I am exploring my options.
    Could I simply add more LNB's to my dish orientated at different angles, i.e Astra @ 19.2 Deg and Hotbird @13 Deg ?
    Would I need to remove the present LNB and the arm to which it is attached or could I just attach a multi LNB holder to the present arm ?
    Could I use my Sky Receiver or is the Symbol Rate Limit of (22000 or 275000 ) a problem ?
    I presume that my dish may not be large enough to pick up Hotbird but could I receive Astra at 19.2 Deg ?
    Another option is that of motorisation.I would like to track the Skies .
    What exactly do I need to implement this ?
    A receiver with Disecq software , A large Dish ( Is 1m big enough , Can Disecq manipulate larger than 1m ?), a motor , and a stand.
    Is that it ?
    I realise I am asking alot of questions but I have tried a few of my local installers and they dont seem to have a clue.
    Where is a good place to buy all this equipment ?
    Thanks

    You know the Aberakebabra building across the road from the University/Regional Hospital in Wilton? Well, if you drive around to the back of that building, there is a small shop that specializes in tv/satellite equipment. (At least there was in Sept. 2000, when I was last there)
