Re: do I need two dish to watch

I rephrase my post. Yes, it is possible using one dish to get signal from 2 sats which are 2 degs apart, but it depends on lots of factors such as dish size, lnbf placement, lnbf size. It will be much easier to set up 2 dishes, or get a Diseqc 1.2 mount to move the dish.

These are the short forms for the satellite names; G3C is Galaxy 3 and T5 is Telstar 5. As Michael says you will need two dishes and a DiSEqC switch to hook up your receiver to pull in both satellites. Even though they are only 2 degrees apart and it may be tempting to try to hit them both with one dish -- I've done it but it takes a little sheet metal work to make it fly :lol: ; better off with 2 dishes.
