combine all on Toroidal ?

[janzy]

Would I be able to use a Toroidal for my Bev, Direct TV, Dish subs and add FTA to this setup also? I then could get rid of all the dishes on my roof.
Also, is there a non-penetrating flat roof mount made for the Toroidal?

depends on what you need for satellites.
82,91,101,110,119 would work. You could get 82/91 for Bell, 101 & 119 for Direct and 110/119 for Dish. You couldnt use 110 for Direct because that is a different LNB (SAT C). I use one for my StarChoice subscription (107.3), DIsh (110/119) and a few FTA (72,74,79,85,89,93,97,103)

You could add a few LNB's for FTA but it would be tough due to you need 3 degree spacing on the satellites due to the holders.

Using my speaking voice instead of my thinking voice (to quote Homer Simpson), you can get 40 degrees of spacing so you could get 79 on the opposite side. 85 or 87 would fit in the spacing guidelines (but not both). You could do 93 & 97 in the middle. With DBS being strong, put the lNB at 93 then get the DBS at 91. I got KU 91 & 93 with no issues. On the other side, you have options for 105 (if you still have locals there), 113 & 116.8

So honestly you could set up 79, 82(DBS), 85 or 87, 91(DBS), 93, 97, 101 (DBS), 110 (DBS), 119 (DBS).

Thanks, Ice. I think that would work for me.
Now, Is it really tough to set one up?

 

[Mr Tony]

eh, depends on location and what your dead ventre one is. In that case, I would use 99 and lock that in first, then make sure you can get the satellites on the end (119 & 79) then fill in the rest

I was lucky and my dead centre satellite is also my true south (93)

You could use a NPRM (non-penetrating roof mount) if you have a flat roof or shed. You'll need one that can handle a 1 meter dish with a 2 3/8" mounting pole. Also be sure to use plenty of cinder blocks

Sadoun has a NPRM for 2 3/8" mast
