Hi there,
Just moved to Aberdeen and would like to know whether if I can use my mesh Sky Minidish to receive Hotbird 13E in Aberdeen area. I have a Humax receiver which was operating fine in previous house. If yes will I will need to replace the Sky's LNB, I am asking this because the current LNB on the dish is the dual Output socket which are fitted to the default Sky box which enables the DVB feature, while the hotbird from what i recall was definately as ny humax box only takes one wire in. Will I need to rewire if Sky Dish is fine to receive Hotbird signal. I also noticed the current sky dish wire is thinner than the usual wire for Hotbird as I have compared it to my old Hotbird wires.
Clearly not satellite Techi or literate.
Thanks in advance,
Mo

At the very least a 1M dish or bigger is required.
it says the Recommended dish size you need is 55cm
You won't need to change the LNB, it will work fine with just one of it's outputs used.
But you WILL need to re align it, assuming it's still pointing at 28.2E
I'm in Aberdeen and I've picked up 13e no problem with a lidl's 60cm dish used in Ballater, Deeisde., but I'm no expert.
I think the thinner wire is the shot gun cable used by s*y.
