BrigateRossoNeri Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 (edited) Can anyone advise a way to hook up one satelite to one stb with access to setanta direct and selectv ??? is it possible i know the satelite can be done with multiple lnb (so ive been told) but what about stb, will i need one that has 2 iredto card slots free? any ideas? thanks guys, Nick Edited May 28, 2008 by BrigateRossoNeri
wahroonga farm Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 (edited) Yes you'll need two Irdeto card slots. Try a Strong 4658x with a card and cam slot (you need to purchase an Irdeto cam), or it may be cheaper to simply purchase two Irdeto stb's. As for reception Setanta is on Optus D2 at 152 deg East and Selectv is on Pas 8 at 166 deg east. So two lnb's mounted with a magic mount or similar is the go. An 85cm+ is recommended however a 65cm will work if you're east coast/ capital city based. Line the dish up on Optus D1 (160) or Optus C1 (156), lock it off and then add and tune the two lnb's to 152 and 166. Have a look at this 245Kb pdf 'how to' I wrote some time back. It's for Optus C1 and IS8, but you'll get the idea. Edited May 28, 2008 by wahroonga farm

wahroonga farm Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 Installing multi lnb set-ups on a single dish is unfortunately not standard fare in Australia. Your typical satellite installer will wish to install two 65cm dishes. Yes, you will need two by runs of RG6 from the dish(s) and two F-type connectors on a wall plate for each satellite. There are conflicting stories on using a legitimate subscribed Selectv box on Senanta. I cannot advise you with 100% certainty there. However the Selectv line is that once you have activated their box (your box actually) on Selectv, it is no longer locked to the Selectv card and you are free to use the STB for other Irdeto2 services.
wahroonga farm Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 A single dish, tin roof mount and lnb will cost less than $100. Installation?
