Wow, thats alot. I might get 4 or more lnbs depends on how many channels I will get. I might get 90cm mesh dish to put it in the back garden because my area have strict rules as no more than 80cm will be allowed.
Will the 90cm dish works when I put the dish on the lower grounds in the beside the shed in the back garden that no one will be able to see it?

the dish installation, does not mind low ground or high level (roof for example) .
you just need clear area in the "reception corner" of the dish (no trees, not too close in a house,etc, in the way that the dish points...)
-
Oh right. I might install the dish between the shed and the fence as there is no leafs or tree so I will move the dish a bit higher when I put the dish in the lower ground. Will that works?
Can you let me know how many lnbs do I need?
I will pm you my zip code if you need it.

i think we answered this above... (and this has nothing to do the area you are living)
one lnb for every satellite.
for 4 satellites, you need 4 lnbs ...

Oh ok fair enough. How many lnbs can I install on a 80cm dish?
can I get 4 or 6 lnbs?
-
i think also that this is answered... but lets do it more simple...
you may can install 6-8-10 (depends signal strength) lnb in 80cm. but they aren't the satellites you need/want. a small dish, gives small space to closer satellites.
a biger dish, will give you more space.
for example, in a 80cm dish, if you will install 19.2E and 13E, the lnbs must be too close each other (because the satellite position is there). so there isn't space to install the 16E between them.
an 1m dish , will offer you stronger signal, but also (and important) will offer you bigger space between lnbs...

Oh ok I got it now. Thank you very much for your help as this is all I need to know for now.

Here you will see single dish/position with one (QUAD) LNB setup, as well as single dish/many (QUAD) LNBs = many satellites setup:
My various T90 setups with many LNBs - different solutions for it...

Thanks for the help guys, I have decided to get a motor.
Do you know how big the mount I need to get to put on a wall and that would fit a 80cm dish?
Is 40cm bracket good enough to fit for a 80cm dish??
-
I have found these but the one I like is 40cm black brackets. Is the 40cm bracket good enough to fit for a 80cm dish? Yes or no?
The one I like is the original one like sky UK mini dish as the bracket have weather restrictions to stop it rusts.
-
your new motorised dish will move some way right and some way left
if you have no space from wall to the dish
WHERE WILL THE DISH HIT and not move
think about it
-
that is pointing at 30 west 3 to 4 inches from the wall imagine if i had a larger dish or smaller wall mount

Oh right, so is 40cm not good enough as I need 80cm wall mount? Is that correct?
If so where I can find a black mount with 80cm length??
-
got that pic of ebay thats what you need the bigger the gap from wall plate to pole mount the better
-
Yeah but the things is it don't have weather restrictions and it won't last as it will cause rusts. So this is why I want a black one to prevent it rusts.
-
Is black mount good or this one is good??
And do I need 40cm or 80cm wall mount??
-
He explained that it depends on the house and position of the dish, as well as how far do you want to drive the dish...
Bigger usually is better... More flexibility, to move the dish left/right...

Oh right. I can only get 80cm dish as I have permission to put on the wall and I can't get more than that.
Do I need to get a mesh dish or a solid dish??
I am thinking to get between 40cm and 80cm wall mount to allow the dish to have more room when I move it to the left and right. If you can advice me what size I need to get that would be very helpful.
