Hi mm,
Thanks for this link, am trying to decipher it.
Is that *frequency* a range of channels and if so, is that what can be found on your link?
What do you mean by '... dishes must be powered'? That it needs a motor to be able to move?
How do these bands relate to channels/satellites?
We have 3 providers in Belgium, Telesat seems to mainly serve french part, Mobistar only sells triple play and TV Vlaanderen is what I had in mind since they have the majority of stations that we know in the flemish part.

From what I have found yet, they 'give access' (don't know if this is the right terminology here) to Astra 1 en 3 and from Satellite Finder / Dish Pointing Calculator with Google Maps | DishPointer.com I got this as being the most popular for Belgium:
1. 19.2E ASTRA 1H | 1KR | 1L | 1M | 1N | 2C
2. 13E HOT BIRD 6 | HOT BIRD 8 | HOT BIRD 9
3. 23.5E ASTRA 3A | ASTRA 3B
4. 5W ATLANTIC BIRD 3
5. 28.2E ASTRA 2A | ASTRA 2B | ASTRA 2D

Is that '1H' a responder?

The fact that Astra 1 & 3 are the ones I'm looking at and they are not completely in the same direction, does that have anything to do with the need for - in this case - 2 LNB's?

Apart from the number of LNB's and tuners, is there anything else I need then: dish, mounting arm for LNB's, cable and of course subscription? (to have a better understanding)
Is it correct that for watching 1 station and recording another at the same time, if it's not from the same... ?transponder?, I need at least 2 tuners?
How is a subscription linked to a system?

You see, lots of questions.
