cooperlola Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 It's a single storey house so it's not as high up as it looks. But if you've got a better idea...[IMG]http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q103/cooperlola/gallatieres508.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin963 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 [quote user="Anton Redman"]The top dish is a SKY mesh dish and will need a SKY LNB from either Maplin, Satcure or one of the French based specialists in French TV. If the lower dish is also used for UK, and it also seems to be aligned for the same satellites as the SKY dish then it will take a 2 or 4 way LMB from a DIR Shed or hypermarket.[/quote]Or the adaptor about which we're talking, which allows one to use n'importe quel LNB on this type of dish.

seb47 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 CooperlolaI bought a twin LNB and adapter from Maplins which I fitted directly into the arm of our UK Sky dish. It cost about £30. It was a tight fit and I had to shave a sliver of plastic off the plastic adapter using a Stanley knife. It worked perfectly first time with our Humax Foxsat HDR. Couldn't do without it now but the Panasonic one you refer to looks the business. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 I doubt that I'll go Bluray in fact, Seb, but the ability to transfer onto DVD is a must for me (an inveterate collector of old TV series, as well as watching a lot of stuff on my portable player since being in hospital so much recently!) so the Humax HDR system is out. But I have found a conventional Panasonic DVD recorder with a 250 gig hard drive and twin Freesat decoders which will record two different channels at once so I reckon it is going to be the choice in the end. It's also £300 cheaper than the other one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
