One dish, 3 satellites??

That is interesting. I didn't know that. Are you then configuring Port B just for your information (i.e you are selecting whether it is Astra 1 or Hotbird or does this config does actually matter)? When you do a scan on port B, I am assuming you will get all the Astra 1 channels as well as the Hotbird channels. Then depending on which channel you select, the monoblock switches to the relevant LNB. If that is the case, very smart.

om my understanding thats true so now hopefully you have made your decison in what to do from this thread and fronm the support of the forum

Thank you all for your responses. It makes hell of a lot of sense now on how the monoblock LNB works. I will look at this setup in a more detail later as I understand the basics now.

if nova is good signal and quality then there should be no problems getting jsc, just ensure you have some skew on the lnb

jsc ok on transponder 11296 H s/r 27500

s is 83% q 47%

s is 83% q 47%

there is your problem then, its half what it should be

needs adjusting up-down-left-right until you get about 80% to 90% quality, not 45%

also depends if you used it as prime focus or not ?

[djpopeye1971]

i used 19.2 as the main

[ramjet]

i used 19.2 as the main

thats probably why then, as 13e may have been a better focus

so you have to move the hotbird lnb until you get over 65% quality and aim for about 80% or more, and that may mean it needs to go higher or lower, never mind left or right, and skewed partly clockwise too

the lnb rack will be angled to take account of this but may need a greater or lesser angle

i try moving it up and down see what i get cheers mat

[djpopeye1971]

which is the weakest nova channel
