Now if you have chosen well which satellites will be available on the T90, the motorised dish will only be used pretty infrequently... so you can loop out of that tuner and into the Dreambox in the bedroom. Add a Nova-T USB stick (tuner D) for terrestrial recordings and you will have a pretty complete system.
    Yes... That more like it
    I dont know if it makes sense but I was actually thinking about a one sat solution...
    *install the T90 with 5 x Quad LNB's for my five pref. sats between 1w - 28e
    *Install third tuner in the ultimo (delivery tomorrow)
    *3 cables to the Ultimo (tuner A-C) and 1 cable to the Dreambox
    *take down the motorized dish and sell it

    If I cover my 5 preferred sats with the T90 I really have no need for a motorized dish as I never visit any of the other sats... and I think I will hate the time it takes to turn the dish once I get used to the T90 zap-speed.

    Well, it wil all go down on Wednesday so full report wil be given then... perhaps with one or two pictures if there is any interest

    Thanks

    Of course that makes sense (apart from the fact that it's not a one-sat but a five-sat solution ).
    You'll have all the (fast) freedom you want.
    Only thing is: are you sure you'll NEVER want to visit another satellite? You could leave the motor in place, just in case you do.
    I have more or less the same here: a 4-sat twin LNB fixed dish + a motorised dish (via the same switch). So for "normal"usage I enjoy fast sat-swapping, and once in a while I visit exotic sat's (slower, but reachable).

    Help asked via PM will be ignored.
    The forum is there for help and all will benefit from your questions.
    NO CARD SHARING TALK WILL BE TOLERATED, LAN OR WAN, IN OPEN FORUM OR PM !

    English is not my native tongue.
    I apologise for all my grammar, spelling and idiom errors.

    Regarding the price (Basset), we are talking about 500 euro for the entire setup including work... not cheap but cheaper then the ultimo and like you say, it will be a comfy setup.

    Rob, sry... not a one-sat solution.. a one DISH solution
    I'm pretty sure I wont be visiting any exotic satellites as it didn't happen in in the 2 years I have had the motorized dish... I might just leave it there.. or sell it
    Thanks

    If your a sports fan it's probably best to keep the motorized dish in case the current providers loose their rights and they move to other locations etc.
