    Hi,
    I just got this dish and other gear off satworld in kimmage. I asked for a dish set up for Astra2d / 1e and hotbird. The Ukrainian guy gave me this setup but I'm unsure as to the arrangement on the LNB holders. I maybe wrong but doesn't this look like a 2 lnb set up instead of 3?

    Pic attached below

    I'm using a Humax 2000 HD reciever to get BBC HD test channel and want hotbird for aljazzera and middle eastern channels.

    A bit of a mixed bag he gave you. Will it actually span from 13E to 28E? It should prob fit together like this:

    The black multifeed holder is threaded through the centre focus LNBF like this.

    The final setup will approximate what is in the link:

    I've no idea...he seemed to think so but I'll give it a go the way you've listed above.
    Thanks!

    Just for reference and in case its googled here: The Humax HD-CI 2000 receiver must be upgraded via the humax download page to receive BBC HD at humaxdigital.com with an RS232 lead and PC.

    That's a double LNB holder, not a triple. You can see what a triple LNB looks like here

    Just looking at the satworld website, that aluminium bracket and clip is designed for a dish with a tubular LNBF arm. Considering it cost €13, I'd be inclined to take it back and get a refund.

    EDIT: If you check their website they supposedly stock the triple multifeed holder like taung links to for €16 - it's essentially just 1.5 twins joined up. Get one of those instead. It looks like it will do 13E, 19E and 28E if you connect them like shown although might be a bit wobbly?
