Re: best size for dish
That is a good one and with a 5 yoke LNB bracket, you should get all five of them. Trick is to combine them via switches to get a single cable to your receiver. If you have only one FTA receiver, then one disecq and a 22Khz switch will do. If you have more than one receiver, then you will need a DP44 and a 22Khz switch which can connect to upto 4 receivers. Let us know what you want your system to be and then we can help you more.

That is going to be a sweet set up.

Re: best size for dish
throw a motor on with that dish, and your ready to explore the fta world. With a motor you'll get many more sats with that size dish on top of what your looking for in sats. With a motor you'll always have back up to watch during down times with true fta channels that never go down!
Have fun and enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: best size for dish
thanks for all the help
i dont really want a motor - im okay with those signals and i do have back up source for tv.
my plan is to connect the dishes to two receivers using two 4x1 diseqc switches, how does that sound?
