i have the same dish and bracket and recieve 13e/19.2e/28.2e using 2 quads and 1 octo (all s*y lnb,s) here in n-west uk but some of the eutelsat 28a txp,s are very weak and break up in the rain. regards mdt

I do have a Zone 1 dish on my house at the moment so I can always use the zone 2 for 19.2E and 13E

Are the 2 smaller LNB's best to use?

And would that be better for signal? or could I try getting say, 16E aswell?

if you want 13E,16E and 19E all on one dish you will need bullet nosed LNBs because of the tight spacing and a dish of min 80cm would be best.I run those 3 sats + 23.5E on one dish and it works fine(28.2E could replace 23.5E)

thats a first rate job @dickb, well done m8 regards mdt

Ok so equipment has arrived.

would it be worth trying 13E, 16E and 19.2E?

What satellite should I have the dish aiming for?

16E would need to be prime but with standard LNBs you wont get 13E and 19.2E close enough to it

I have 2 of

And the Sky LNB...

Would 3 of Titanium be psosible to get it?

no you need bullet nosed LNBs like these and they are not really suitable for use on a sky dish as the feed horns are suited to circular type of dish.google ALPs lnb.

Thanks for your help mate

I'm guessing I can do 13E, 19.2E and 23.5E instead?

Now which one should I aim for? (Centre LNB)

19E I"d put in the center but I still think that will be too tight with the std smart LNBs as its only 4 degrees apart for 23.5Eand they too are not really suited to a sky dish but as you have got the gear now try it and see what you can get.that last pic I posted was on an 85cm dish for 23.5E,19.2E,16E and 13E and you can see how close they are(some are touching)and thats with bullet nosed LNBs

Thanks again mate.

I will just go for the 13E and 19.2E thats enough for me and will leave 28.2E on the standard sky dish.

Would it be best using the standard smart LNB's instead of the Zinwell one if possible.

Either way I know for sure 19.2E and 13E will be up and running

[dick b]

the zinwell is purpuse buillt but try the others

doesnt really matter, but if you ever want say 28.2e I would point it at 19e to split the difference and also post #11 said to point it at 19e too
