Hotbird has the Polish channels and you only need a 70cm dish or bigger
at 13oE but Russian tv on Sirius 4.8oE you need a 90cm dish or bigger.
Both are encrypted in Nag3 and Videoguard:cool:
Any box that has CAM slot and Nag3 and Vguard ready :rolleyes::rolleyes:
or a official box from the providers:cool:

Sirius 4.8E no problem on a 110cm dish in Limerick.

Hotbird 13E only needs 70cm-80cm for relaible reception

There are some International versions of russian tv available this far west with a 80cm dish, but for all the proper versions on russian tv you need a very large dish as they are all on a east beam. There is a lot of Russian stations on 40 east (Receivable here with an 80cm) but they are broadcast in mpeg 4 but FTA.

Is it possible to do this on one dish, with a few LNBs? Or are the respective satellites too far apart?

I was looking at getting a motorised dish, which would obviously be the ideal solution, but i've been told that due to regional air conditions the motorised dishes tend to seize up very quickly!

I'd like to get freesat and russian channels anyway.

Who told you that? I got a Lidl dish and Maplin motor for less than 100 euro in Jan 2007 and their working fine, despite the dreadful winds the last few weeks.

I have never heard that before

Sounds like an installers excuse !

My motor is still driving my 1.1m dish for over 4 years now.

To be honest, those were my initial thoughts as well! But i haven't lived here that long, so i don't really know.

Its in Wexford, reasonably coastal location, although i cant see (or smell!) the sea. I was told that the salt in the air could mess up the motor so the installer wouldn't recommend it. Lots of the dishes around the place look very rusted up alright and i'm not sure if a similar situation wouldn't mess up a motor.

They recommended using two dishes instead.

I can ask around a few more companies and see i suppose.
