    T90 dish set up .Ok so I originally had 5 lnbs and now i have purchased a few more. When i add these and go to scan for channels , I'm not finding any. I'm using vix image and a 10-1 switch. Something fishy here. Do I need to scan all satellites again or should I just be able to scan the added satellite as I go along. Also Can I receive viasat or do I need different Lnb to receive that.

    I doubt you'll get Viasat in Ireland on a 90cm dish.

    Also, have you actually set up the new LNB's in the menu of the receiver?

    Hi,

    5 LNBs used for,i guess,28-19-16-13-5.
    What other "interesting" sats are that we need more LNBs !? :)

    You need to add satellites in the system tuner listing and then,eventually run a full scan if not download an updated "settings" that matches your setup / interest.

    Thanks.

    I bought the dish here.
    http://www.satkontor.de/wavefield-t90-toroidal-sat-antenne-90cm-mit-doppelreflektor-anthrazit.html
    The lnbs here. (cheaper ones might do although these are worth the extra I believe)
    https://www.hm-sat-shop.de/en/lnb/lnb-single/1118/inverto-single-black-ultra-idlb-sinl40-0-2-db?c=76
    The mounting bracket here.
    http://www.satworld.ie/t90-steel-wall-mount-toroidal-wavefrontier-60mm-diameter.html

    The guide that comes with the dish is really hard to follow.
    This might help here.
