Thanks,

All dishes are multisatellite. They're only reflectors.

I have not used one yet, but as far as I understand, less wear and tear
and realignment problems after strong winds. No motor to break, and no
time to wait for the motor to track to the correct satellite when
changing channels.

I intend, at some point, to buy one of these multi sat dishes. It is a
90cm dish and holds 16 LNBs:

I forgot to add that I was comparing multi LNB dishes to motorised dishes.

Pros:

a) Instant switching between satellites
b) Suitable for use with multiple receivers or twin channel PVR


Cons

a) Limited span
b) Need some spacing between satellites
c) Requirement to buy LNB for each satellite, an extra switch may also be
needed depending on configuration.
d) Only two sizes 55 and 90cm


If anyone has managed to receive Eurobird1 at 28.5 + Astra1 at 19.2 + Hotbird
at 13 + Telecom 2C/ Atlantic Bird3 at 5w with a T55 dish I would like to know!

I have the first three with a T55, if that's any help.

Which one have you got?

The reason I ask is that with the 90cm version I would like to get the
FTA French channels on 5W and hope fully the FTA channels on 28.5 Astra.
I have not checked if the T90 will cover these degrees. I am in Gibraltar.
