Hello everyone,

I would like to get a rough idea of what to expect when installing a satellite dish system.
It will probably be an Astro 85cm (33 inches) dish, just for Astra. A splitter for up to 16 receivers.
Basically, the dish should be mounted, aligned, and the cable routed through the roof, since the splitter will be located in the attic under the roof.
A roof flashing or something similar will also be needed.

What have your experiences or quotes been?
I will handle running the cables from the splitter to the receivers myself.

Are we looking at a total cost of around 500 €, 1500 €, or even more?
I don’t really have a sense for this yet.

Best regards,
Tito

There are probably only a handful of manufacturers for the mirrors anyway, and they are then labeled accordingly for the companies.

Most likely... as with practically all products nowadays...

I can recommend Gebertini in aluminum and roof color. Good value for money, no marketing, no corrosion. LNBs from B.e.s.t.

For up to four TV connections in the house, I would avoid using a multiswitch. For multiple LNBs, use DiSEqC.

Ok, having 2 residential units naturally tends to double the demand.
If you want to rearrange TVs (meaning more outlets), you don’t always have to connect every outlet directly to the multiswitch. You can solve Twin-Tuner setups using unicable, which saves outlets and cables.
But at the price for a multiswitch, it’s not such a big deal anyway. As long as it’s not Kathrein, at least.

Can I solve Twin Tuner with unicable?
By Twin Tuner I mean a Twin-Triple-Tuner, so I can record and watch at the same time. Are we referring to the same thing?
I thought with a Twin-Triple-Tuner you have to run two cables from the distribution box to the device?
