    can anybody tell me if its possible to put 13 16 19 and 28 on an 80cm dish please ?

    what type of LNB is skinny enough to fit in at 16 ?

    motor is not a solution. neighbours house blocks too much.

    thanks

    Alps once supplied narrow neck lnb's to Triax for the multi lnb brackets, maybe try armstrongs to see if the have any. Not sure what you mean about the motor, if the house blocks the signal it does not matter whether you use a motor or fixed

    I presume Pal means that a motor would be over kill, as west of 13degs is blocked by the Neighbors

    Perhaps but a cheaper option nonetheless , may also allow viewing of turksat and 33 east

    The Alps' LNBs are not skinny enough for regular 80cm dish and 3 degrees.
    Kathrien do some skinnier ones (elongated vertically).
    A T90 Wavefrontier will allegedly allow 3 degrees with the Alps.
    I must buy one an try it :)

    Two dishes is an other option. 7, 13, 19 & 25.5E on one
    10, 16, 23.5 & 28.2E on the other
    That I have tried and it works :)

    Thanks all.
    Yes the neighbours house doesn't allow full range on a motor.
    waste maybe ?
    I'm feeding 3 boxes. 2 Sky and 1 Technomate.
    Tony, you did the install. I'm the stockmarket guy in Dublin West. Remember ?
    My only option was a pole you said. Unfirtunately the Missus thinks our house already looks like Mission Control so no more dishes, wires or equipment she says ! :D
    There's a heap of other stuff stuck on the house too !
    I just want to add 16e .
    If I could get away with it there would be a monster dish in the garden for Showtime Arabia but 16e Digitalb will have to do for now.
    A nice skinny LNB to fit in and I'm happy.
    Watty. I love your solution. Do I need two disecqs ?
    Can I mix the sats ?
    As if 3,000 channels wasn't enough !
    This bloody past-time is addictive.
