    I'm rich in dishes- what would you do?

    ADVERTS 1
    Hi guys,
    I am being forced by a bad receiver to go pizza dish for my main tv reception (it will make my wife happy). So I find myself in the great position of having two operating BUDS (a 10' mesh and an 8' solid aluminum). I have a Ku/C feed horn on the mesh and a KU/C/DBS feed horn on the solid. They each have a standard ribbon cable going to them (two coax to each plus control wires for servo and actuator). I have a pansat 3500 and a pansat 2500 (in mothballs) avalible, and will be getting an Azbox soon. Now, how would you arrainge the dishes and receivers, and how would you use them for the most FTA fun?

    Being forced by what kind of bad receiver? 4DTV?
    To answer the "how" question, we would probably need to know what you are using the two dishes for now, what you watch etc..
