New dish setup

[Drox]

Have you not got local t.v satellite supplier
Pick up at the counter much cheaper

I found one, going to give them a call on Monday to see if they have any stock.

Every time I look at that tornado satellite dish want to install at home

 

[linesman66]

I'm lucky to have account with my local suppliers through installation Get supplies
Cheaper

The 2600 is more powerful and quieter
Can drive 1.2m satellite dish

Thanks, if I go for a 97cm dish, would it be much faster at moving or just a slight difference?

 

[linesman66]

Yes more powerful

Which one is better for two box setup?
motorised or coroidal dish?

motorised all tuners are on one sat
multi LNB fixed means each tuner can be on a different sat
personal choice really,
motorised is more sats
fixed means more flexibility on a smaller number of sats

Thanks but does motorised work well when watching on 2 boxes. (I know that at one time you can only watch one satellite). By concern is controlling the movement of dish with two boxes connected.

only one box can move the dish,
the second box will be straight to LNB
unless you use one box on fallback, it may be possible that way

Thanks, I found a installer company which is in neighbouring town. They do multi sat, motorised and toroidal dish installation and the prices are not bad compared to other installers. Now that I have so many options, I am confused

As long as both receivers are not in use at the same time, you can use a priorty switch, i've used this on a motorized dish for years.

Thanks but what if my lnb is twin output so each box has its own connection, do I still need this priority switch?

Only 1 cable can go to the motor to move the dish, 2nd output on a twin lnb can go to another receiver but it won't have control of the dish.

That’s that’s I was thinking. Main box cable go through the motor. Second box cable go directly to lnb.

With the priorty switch you can control the dish with both receivers but not at the same time.
