Hello everyone!
Do I need a different dish for the Astra or Atlantic Bird decoder, or can I use the same one with these 2 different decoders?
Thank you in advance for your answer!
Best regards, Joss.

Yes my little one, you can watch all the terrestrial channels except for the Nilsat corridor one.

Good evening
If you are talking about Astra 19.2° East and Eutelsat 5° West (which replaced Atlantic Bird), there is still more than 24° of difference, and it is better to have two separate dishes
But you are not describing your problem well...
What do you want to receive?
Why two terminals?

It's very kind of you to inform me, I'm a bit lost.
Yes, I am talking about Astra 19.2 East and Atlantic Bird. I didn't know it was called Eutelsat 5° West.
Following some deaths, I inherited 2 receivers, one Astra and one Atlantic Bird, but I have only one satellite dish and I wanted to know if I can use either one with the same dish or if the dish needs a special adjustment for each receiver.
I hope my explanations were clearer! :-) Thank you very much!

But what do you want to receive as strings?
And what is the complete reference for these decoders?

When I go on vacation, I have a satellite dish that I fix on a tripod. I have a Astra decoder at home and another Atlantic Bird (reference 9945 HD Starcom FRANCESAT) and only one satellite dish.
My question is: could I connect either decoder to the same satellite dish to get TNT channels (about twenty channels) or do I need another satellite dish?
I have 2 barcodes for Atlantic Bird:
4117123907001504
0002 9220 804
Thank you in advance for your advice.
Best regards,
joss

Receiving both satellites on the same dish?
I replied to you
"If you are talking about Astra 19.2° East and Eutelsat 5° West (which replaced Atlantic Bird), there is indeed more than 24° of difference, and it's better to have two separate dishes."
You say you want to receive the 27 channels of TNT, your Starcom decoder allows it and is sufficient
If you want to additionally receive the Astra channels, there’s no need to use another decoder; your Starcom has a DiSEqC switch, excerpt from the manual:
"DiSEqC 1.0: This parameter allows you to set the DiSEqC switching of your installation. You can
by adjusting this parameter switch a dish equipped with a MONOBLOC LNB or a DiSEqC switch with 2 single LNBs."
