    Hey,

    Quick Saor sat question..

    If I have a satellite pointing at Eutelsat Ka-Sat 9A at 9.0°E.. for RTE and the likes, can I also pick up any of these lads

    Eutelsat 9A is ku band (same as Astra etc.). You'd need a combined ku/ka lnb, which doesn't exist afaia.

    Depending on the dish you use, you could pick up a no. of satellite positions either side of 9 east with offset lnbs.

    Would that do it?

    Hmm.. seems a bit messy

    That dish is/was for a particular cluster of American satellites, the ku & ka sats. received by the combined lnb have a 2 degree separation from each other rather than being co-located like those at 9 degrees east.

    Pointed at 9E ka Band you only get same as Saorview but without TV3 and 3e.
    The closest simultaneous Ku Band is 13E.

    You'd need a special dish and reflector to separate Ku and Ka so that one is normal offset and the other LNB is Cassegrain. Not worth it as 19E or 13E are more interesting than 9E ku.

    On a 90cm to 110cm dish getting 28E, 19E, 13E (all ku) and 9E ka is possible at same time.
