I seem to remember reading somewhere that can get D1, C1 and B3 on one dish with three LNBs. For NSS5 (don't think there are any channels on the NZ beam at the moment) or the Sky Tower (TV5 Monde and Al Jazeera were on the list you linked to a few weeks ago) your dish would need to be pointed in different directions. Edit: Just so you know, the site you linked to is a shop. The official Freeview website is here (http://freeviewnz.tv/).	maccrazy (6741)

The latter few would probably be of most interest to most Press F1 members.	maccrazy (6741)
