    According to this Elevation caluculator the elevations for Belfast are
    Hotbird 25.3
    Astra 1 23.6
    Astra 2 20.5

    When setting up a multi LNB dish should I go for the lowest, highest or a midpoint angle

    That is one handy elevation calculator, i spent ages trawlingt the net looking for settings like that 2 months ago when i was trying to install a dish to Telecom 2D at 8° West, It found it veey difficult, I eneded up having to buy a Yellow Cube Sat meter of ebay to get it. I got it though and its working perfect and thanks to it i now have 1Mbps one-way satellite broadband from euroskynet. Perhaps this link should posted into a sticky somewhere. Very handy for the amateur dish guy armed only with a compass and a set of spanners !

    Thanks Tony

    Another question

    In the Picture should the Hotbird or Astra 2 LNB's be highest (in relation to the ground)

    Astra 1 in the middle

    Looking from the back of the dish, Hotbird is to the left a small bit and lower, Astra 2 is to the right (a bit further out) and higher.
