French TV and English on the same dish?


Recommended Posts

Hi All

I am watching the free english channels via my sky digibox, I was wandering if it was possible to get French television from the same dish using a twin LNB and wiring straight into a seperate french analogue box that you can buy from Brico depot etc.

Or will I have to install 2 dishes?

Any help appreciated as normal.

The BBC digital transmissions emanate from 28 degrees east; the French analogue ones from 5 degrees west. The angular separation is simply too great for one dish to cope with (unless it's one of those fancy ones with a rail on which one can hang up to 8 LNB's - but they're rare and expensive).

TV5 and France 5/Arte are still on Hotbird analogue at 13 degrees east as far as I know, but even this separation is too great for all but the largest dishes.

So two dishes required - sorry.
