13,16 and 19 deg on one dish?

Is it possible to receive these 3 satellites from one non motorised dish in the west of ireland(Ballinasloe). If yes, what equipment would you recommend?

Yes. sort off
80, 90, 88cm dish you can't fit any LNBs close enough for 3 degree spacing

I have old 80cm with 13, 19, 23.5 and 28.2 (quad) LNBs.

You can get a bracket that fits on arm instead of LNB to take 4 LNBs.

With a friends 1.2m dish you can space only 3 degree apart and it could take 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 23.5, 28.2 all at once.

If you go for the 1.1m triax and the 4 way bracket you can see if after pointing LNB close to arm at 19E and next East to 13E without moving dish, if there is enough space in between for 16E.

Thanks for that Watty. I'll try the 1.1m triax and see how it goes.

There are monobocks available (Monoblock LNB 0.3 dB - 13" & 16" East) with 3 deg spacing but only for 2 satellites, and it's unlikely you could get 2 such monoblocks close enough to receive say 10, 13, 16, 19.

The preferred approach currently is to use Alps 'slimline' LNBFs.

The Alps "slimline" with a 1.1m would be very good.
