Hi talkabout,

"For the races that are not live on BBC One, there will be live commentary on Radio 5 Live and the BBC Sport website."

I use an 80cm dish for Astra 1, I find it perfect in all weather in Wexford.

I use the Foxsat Humax HDR for english commentary (BBC 5 Live) connected to my surround sound DVD system.
Example: I watch Astra 1 RTL/Sport 1 etc on a seperate box (Ferguson Combo HD) you could get a cheaper box.

With the Foxsat you can pause the radio, sometimes for sport the radio commentary is a little bit ahead of the picture from Astra 1
Takes a couple of second's to sort, then perfect.

Also the ISAA guy's will do a great job for you.

I also find the Humax a great box.

I left the old sky dish in place for Freesat Humax HDR, you may have to add a quad LNB for two cable outputs, if you do not already have a quad.
Works well for listening to radio on 5live on the old sky dish while watching 19e on the 80cm dish.

I put up a second dish an 80cm for 19e and 13e.
I used a mono block for 19 and 13.
I find the mono block a bad choice, hoping to change to multi LNB's for 19e and 13e and if possible may add 9e for Real Madrid TV in english and Thace sport HD (I dont know how long Trace may last FTA)

Mabey somebody can tell me if it is possible to add 9e ?
or any other free to air sport on satellite's that I could add to the above system on an 80cm dish 19e, 13e, 9e ?, ??

thanks for any advice.

I have almost the exact same setup including boxes, except I have separate LNBs for 13E and 19E. I have Al Jazeera and Cyfra for the football and use the Humax for the 5live or talksport commentary as described above.

I bought a third LNB recently hoping to add 9E or 5W for some free French channels. I too would be interested to know if 9E or 5W is possible with an 80cm Triax dish with a Triax multi-lnb bar. I have 13E as the prime focus at the moment. I believe it may be possible if the multi-LNB bar is turned upside down? Have not had a chance to experiment yet - need to wait for better weather and a day when the wife and kids are not in the way!!

I know the feeling

Thanks Peter

Multiple Lnb bracket

I dont think I have a Triax dish, I dont know what make it is.
I wonder would this bracket type do for 19e, 13e and possibly 9e

As I was following the thread, I was wondering how easy is it to set up the multi-LNB arrangement on the offsetting bracket. Would the receivers you're talking about be capable of accommodating USALS so that you could use a motor to drive the dish to the satellite you wanted? Once the motor with dish are mounted on a perfectly vertical pole or bracket and the dish bracketed correctly onto the motor's arm, the dish will be rotated to find the various satellites with a single LNB. That might not apply when it comes to 9E, however, if it uses a different kind of signal collector. Anyway, I am in mid-Kildare and use a motorised setup to receive from 28.2E, 19.2E, 13E and 5W without too much bother at all. I've never installed a multi-LNB setup, but that looks more daunting to me than the motorised setup. Don't know about the costs though.

60cm. I might occasionally have problems with rain fade, but it works fine most of the time. An 80cm dish might be better against that problem, but maybe harder to mount. My 60cm dish is mounted on the wall of my back wall, which runs fairly close to north and south. An 80cm dish would probably bump into the wall for the Atlantic Bird 3 (5W).
