    Hi Folks,
    Currently have a multi dish setup with minidish+quad LNB at 28.2 and Triax TD88 with duo LNBs at 13' and 19'2.
    Anyhow I'm thinking that since I have space on the TD88 and space on my diseqc switch I might add a new Sat if possible?
    What other Sats are acheivable with this set up?
    Thanks in advance for the advice :)

    Maybe wait for Saorsat, and get a Ka LNB for 9E when it's available? It might work fine with 13E at the centre, and 19e and 9E either side.

    I suspect I'll be doing something similar, though if I could get away with 28E, 19E, 13E and 9E on my 80cm, I'd likely go with that. Time will tell...

    You'd need a HD receiver to get the Saorsat though.

    Thanks for the input.
    I should have added I have absolutely no interest in Saorsat, already using a Nova T with Vu +Duo for my Saorview needs ;-)

    26E 23E, 16E or 9E Ku

    for narrow spacing you need Kathrien or Alps skinny LNBS, the regular LNBs are 4 to 5 degree minimum spacing.

    I was under the impression the 16E would be a near impossibility with a multi lnb set up?
    I heard its hard to get even on motorized?
    Of those Sats available,26e 23e 16e and 9e would any offer access to football and sports that wouldnt be covered on 19e and 13e?
    Ideally I'd like to add to what I have rather than duplicate it ;)
