help with 4 LNB setup

    hi

    could i get 28.2E, 19.2E, 13E and 4.8E with a triax TD88 dish and its default 4 LNB multiblock somehow?

    dishpointer.com only gives information for the first 3 of those satellites, but maybe i could add 1 more to the right side of the multiblock somehow and where should i point the dish then? the site also says that the dish needs to be rotated to 93,8 degrees somehow for those 3 satellites, and where should i rotate the dish for the 4 mentioned satellites then? and dishpointer.com also doesnt give the LNB skew values for the multi-lnb-setup, but should i take those from each of the separate satellite value then?

    the multiblock manual basically gives some mm values for 13, 19.2, 23.5 and 28.2 satellite(for germany and uk), but i dont really need the 23.5 one..

    thanks

    I would imagine it would be very tight to get them on a TD88 I used have the exact same setup before but on a 1.1 Metre triax dish.

    Keep away from Multiblocks a complete waste of time here.

    why is it waste? and do i have to tilt the dish to 93,8 degrees then or still set it up vertical 90 degrees and only tilt the multiblock accordingly?

    Multiblocks don't work properly here as we are too far from satellite hence use seperate lnbs for each bird required .

    ah, ok... i think we are talking about 2 different things here... i was thinking about this TD multiblock rail:
    triax.uk/products/tools-accessories/mounting/lnb-brackets/td-3-20-flexiblock-4xlnb

    although it is now called flexiblock somehow...

    but can i fit 4.8-28.2E satellites on it then?:z

    Your problem is an 88cm dish is very small for the spead of dishes u are looking for. I have the same setup u are looking for and using a Td110 using the flexiblock u linked to

    ok, i probably mixed up a monoblock and a multiblock in the previous post, but did you use somekind of satellite finder tool to align the horns up? and td88 wont work at all then or might work a bit with a good alignment?

    I install satellite for a living for 4.8east alone u need a 90cm dish for a reliable signal so for the third time I will repeat myself an 88cm dish is not bit enough to pick up the four satellite u want they are too far apart and you will need a td110 I have the exact setup u are looking for

    This is not a job to be tried by the amateur without a proper meter to align correctly.

    You could use your td88 for perhaps 28-19 or 19_13 you will not get a 24 degree seperation on such a small dish
