LNB holder quick question?????????

t c · 2011-09-28 12:20:02

Hi Will a Triax quad LNB holder give me a satellite spread of 26E, prime satellite, 19.2E and 13E? Or would it be a case that because the Triax holder (appears) to be two LNB's split evenly on each side of mounting with no adjustment to off-set it one way or the other? Cheers TC

Shouldnt have much of a problem with that spread but you would want a large dish of about 1.2metre to get 26east can be quite tricky to find so you will need a good line of sight.

Thanks for the link Peter, full of info.

Was going to use a Triax 1.1m dish, would that do Steveon?

I already have a Sky dish giving me 28E to two Technomates and one Humax Freesat, so was planning on second dish for other 3.

Cheers.

YA triax dish is an excellent dish and should be ok but as I said 26 is quite tricky to find at times.

Check there downlink footprint here.

I'm not a fan of the Triax multiholder as it prevents you from placing an LNBF right at the focal point - for 26E you need all the signal gain you can get. I prefer the brackets used by Satworld as you have greater flexibility with them.

1.1M may be OK on east coast/south east, but to ensure reception in rain, I'd still recommend a 1.2M.
