Will be a couple more days, PVR PSU has decided to pack it in :|

It's got two feed horns, but only one output. Has a different LOF than
the LNB they've previously used, it's 10.75GHz. Installer mentioned it
was to provide for "transparent" switching to D1.

Somewhat unclear anyway, D1 is going into the same orbital slot, and
while it now has one horn offset from the other, is that intended to
cover some other slot as well? It'd have to be pretty close to 160E as
well, the dish doesn't appear to be shaped in a way that would provide
more coverage.

More questions than answers about the future it seems.

However:

DVB-S wins. IMO the right decision, DVB-T was never going to get the
coverage desired.=20
