Multi LNB Set Up

[bj1]

managed to get my zone 2 sly dish set up on 13e/19.2 after failing trying to use monoblock, i set it up using 2 lnb,s on a dish arm...the monoblock dul lnb,s are too close to each other to achieve a decent enough signal on a zone 2 dish . using 2 lnb,s 0n a dish arm allows you to slide lnb,s into required position to achieve ample signal quality....

Any chance you could post a pic of the dish and lnb m8?

sorry m8 i dont own a camera but set up is pretty basic...put multifeed on dish,position 1st lnb about 2cm from middle left [looking from behind the dish] and line up to hotbird then line up your second lnb to 19.2 to the right by sliding the lnb into required position then adjust the skew on the lnb to fine tune. normaly i would use a monoblock on a 80cm dish but i have set this up for a m8 who is skint who was running a single feed from a zone 2 sly dish....BJ1

Try sticking a third LNB,a 4way switch and get 28e also.
works for me

what is the model matematic to installing multifeed??, help me please

Multi LNB Setup

Hi there,
I have a 120cm dish pointing towards 19.2E. I want to set a another 2 LNBs pointing at 28.2E and if possible 5.0W.

I am a novice so I have no idea how to align the second and third LNB (that if dish does not need to be realigned). Do you get some measurments from somewhere with the distances/angles or u use a satmeter (but then again how do u know that the signal you're receiving is the one from the right satellite???)

Many thanks!!!

frankly I cannot see you achieving this setup , 28e and 19e are easily had from the same dish , as can be 16e , 13e , 10e and say 5e depending what you want to get

I have a 80cm triax dish with 5e , 13e , 19e and 28e on it , which are all on the same inclined angle , but 5w would be on the opposite inclined angle and I doubt you can do this

ideally you have 1 dish on 5w , and your present dish aligned on astra at 19e and get say 13e and 28e on it too , using an lnb rack and 2 or 3 lnb,s

use a sat meter or beeper , a digital sat receiver and a tv , and choose channels that only appear on the one satellite , like bbc1 or the vault on 28e , zdf or arte or similar german channels on 19e , and fta channels on the others too

33 degrees is a very big spread for a conventional dish but your dish is large and it might just do it.. also the 2 satellites at the extremes are both very powerfull satellites and can be recieved with small dishes. ive not installed that many multi-feed systems but if you can get a professional field meter id say re-align your dish onto hotbird@13east then looking from the back of the dish put your 19.2e lnb to the right of the center the 28.2e lnb further right and higher and the 5w lnb all the way over to the left and ajust the hieght for the best signal.. also ajust the skew on the lnb,s and ajust the focal point by moving the lnb in and out in the bracket, regards mdt
