HD and International channels?

[zariaboy]

I recently ordered an HD package along with the Filipino channels. As I slowly learn more about satellite technology, I'm coming to the conclusion that this setup will require 2 dishes. Is this right? If so, then our apartment's balcony will get really crowded. Any tips or caveats about this setup would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Alfredo

It will require 2 dishes, and neither one of them are what you would call small. Both will have to braced somehow because they're about 36" in diameter. It will also require a 6x8 multi-switch.

Are you in an apartment/condo? I'm guessing you are based upon your comment about the balcony. If so, you may want and check with your landlord to allow you to mount at least one of the dishes to the building.
