I have a triax 88cm dish and want to fit a triax 4 lnb bracket to it but wondering on how to set it up?
Anyone got any info on this?
thanks in advance

What satellites do you wish to receive?

It takes a lil bit of time to get used to it...but if u have a good meter its no problem at all...you insert the 4 way bracket arm and slide the lnbs onto the bar until they are in the position you require.

The tricky bit is that you need to do everything in reverse...basically u need to imagine the sat are in the opposite side so for example...

It would usually be 28east, 19east, 13 east 5 east etc...

Looking from the back you would place them like this


First on left....5 degrees east on outside, 13 east closer to middle

First one rite 28 on outside, 19 closer to middle......bascially because the signal will bounce from the lnb onto the correct side of the dish....

I usually setup dish for 13degrees and lock position and then slide the other lnbs into position...

sorry guys!
I think that these three would have fairly decent signals?
I saw a dish with 4 lnb bracket on and the bracket was at an angle (not perpendicular ti the dish arm).
any reason for this?
thanks

Reason is thats the best set up. Think of the dish like a mirror with a torch shining in, signal reflects in exactly the opposite direction to which it is received.
