Hi all,

I am wanting to get some channels from Hotbird 13 East and I wanted to know if I could use my old Sky dish....? The dish itself was taken down a couple weeks ago and it was used for one year - it was installed for Sky Plus.

Will I be able to use the existing dish and lmb to get hotbird??

Second question - Is 60cm enough for Hotbird? I have been told by 3 people that it will be fine but then a 4'th person said the picture will dodgy at times with only a 60cm dish.........do you all have any comments on this?

I was intending originally to get a bigger dish but it would be nice if I could just use the dish/lmb I had and save some cash

My next task will be looking on the web for instructions on how to allign a LMB

SKY 45cm dish is too small

60cm dish for Hotbird is ok, but not the best choice - i recomand 80cm to get all the channels, espacially if you want to watch ART sports.
