Unless you are a big fan of Dave why not install FreeSat? I doubt if
pigeons can do much harm to a dish beyond adding "dielectric coating".

Doesn't really suit8 TV receiver locations& 6 recording locations.

Well using a "multiswitch" does that...

Can't see how that helps.

Right U use a certain type of LNB which has four outputs. IIRC its
called a Quad or Quattro. Each one of the outputs which receives signals
is on either the upper or lower part of the band and vertical or
horizontal polarisation.

Each outlet then can take whichever one of the four inputs it needs and
by such means a lot of receivers etc can get a feed..

So, you are limited to 4 channels at a time? Incidentally, loft aerials
don't work very well in this location, the additional problems of a low
pitched concrete roof and rain/snow etc rather rules one out.
