Hi,
Anyone out there know if you can use the
Satellite dish for the
internet and the free to air
satellite TV.
My
internet is bordernet and I have the dish for that and was hoping for the TV to work from the same dish.
Thanks for any help.

In a word - NO I don't think you could. The frequencies are different, and the snout of the Dish would need to be changed. Not sure of the satelite either, C2 is the TV one and it would depend on who's satelite your ISP has their transponder. Of course I don't have a clue about all this but I thought I'd answer anyway....

Gaz,
Firstly you need to find out if your
internet is coming from the C 1
satellite, presuming you're talking about the Optus service for tv.
Secondly your LNB has to be compatible between both signals - not likely.
There are
satellite systems that will change from
satellite to
satellite, but I don't know if it would be compatible in your situation.
It probably can be done, but would probably involve a lot of mucking around, and you're going to have to talk to a
satellite expert. Even though they're ugly, 2 separate dishes is probably going to be the easiest and cheapest way to go. Have a look through the yellow pages for a
satellite dealer, and if you have any luck, perhaps you could post back here.
