Multi LNB

garrycann78

I assume its possible but someone confirm that i can put an additonal LNB onto a SKY UK dish to receive 13.0E. I have a holder. Do I need to allign the dish or just it as it and allign the lnb.

It can be done but the reception will be a absolute joke:o, I had this setup on a 65cm solid steel dish years ago just for laugh & thats what the reception was! If you still wanted to do this the best way to do it would be to align the dish to Hotbird & have 28E as the offset. Just to answer your question at the end, you would only align the dish to whatever sat was the weakest, in this case 13E & then just align the offset LNB & adjust the skew for the final tweaking.;)

Would be a joke!

Have 28,19 and 13 on my 80cm and its good on 28 and 19 but the weaker tps aren't there on hotbird for me!

I have mine centred about 21 degrees

Can I just ask buddy, Why didnt you centre the dish on 19E (i.e. The "Traditional way" of doing those three)?:)

Simple answer.. More gain!

15 divided by 2 = 7.5...

7.5 + 13 = 20.5 + 1degree for better gain on astra 2!

Cheers buddy, I suppose a 80cm dish over there is pushing it for 13E as a offset, bloody English punters always bang on about, "Oh I can get 13E on my Zone 1 minidish (43cm).." Yes good for you, try it up here in Central Scotland ya dafty!:D
