Ok, I am relatively new to this and need some...umm "guidance.'
I currently lived in Europe, (Helsinki, Finland to be exact), and there are so many FTA tv and radio stations its scary.
What I want to do is to "enhance" my current system to pull from the Eurobird 1/Astra 2a/2b/2d satellite at 28.2 degrees East in order to see the BBC.
We currently have a Scientific Atlanta PowerVu D9234 receiver that is tuned to the Hotbird 1-6 satellite at 13.0 degrees East. (We currently watch Armed Forces Network TV on it.) Additionally, we have a standard LNB and 80 cm dish.
Ok, so I'm guessing I need a motorized mount for the dish in order to move it. What else do I need to make this happen, if it can happen at all? How do I get my receiver and dish to "switch" between satellites when I want to check out what is on the BBC or AFN?
Are there practical online guides to read and "get smart" on this other than this superior website?
Thanks!
MF
