    Hi. The gap between the two satellites is around 3.8 degrees so you will need a 4degree monoblock , not sure if they make them as they usually were 6 degrees. Or you could try two LNB's connected via a diseqc switch or do what a lot of people do and buy yourself a motor. A motor like a TM2600 is easy to install but it needs a bit of time and common sense to do. As you have a 1 metre dish a motor is worth considering.

    Take care.

      0.8w to 4.8e is 5 degrees by my maths but I'm probably wrong

        its actually 5.6 degrees separation and a 6 degree monoblock should be ok, depending on your worldly location of course

                it would definitely get them but not an ideal location so dont expect to get booming signals on the offset lnb
                the ideal location is scandinavia which is a common thing for them over there to do

                I think you are better to spend the money on a motor and use a standard lnb, that way your dish and inverto ulra black lnb will get the best signals from the sat the dish is pointed at

                  Should be OK but have 4.8? east as the main focus as the nordic beam on there is weaker than 0.8? west, But i concur a motor will give you more possibilites
