globecast help

Hi all,
I hope you can help me.
I just got globecast receiver with Elliptical dish.
My question is I want to connect to other satellites.
Do I need another receiver? or can I use the same one.
The other question is can the globe cast receiver control a motorized dish?
Thanks in advance.
Gareth

Sorry for the late reply.
No, Globecast receiver cannot control a motor, for the exception, it can move it to the "reference point" - that's it, functionality is limited. To get another satellites, you will need either multi-dish or multi-LNB setup (thoroidal), or you can slave Globecast receiver to any other that is able to control the motor. Connect the coax from Globecast receiver to the "Loop-through"port of FTA receiver, which moves the dish.
