because the satellite is on the left when looking from the rear of the dish , the signal hits the back of your dish and is reflected off to the right, so the lnb collector has to be on the right to receive it (looking from the rear of the dish)

its like kicking a ball at an angle against a wall, it bounces off the wall away from the kicker at an angle so would need a receiver (goalie) placed at an angle too

its a bit like those early consoles where you play tennis with bats and a ball

Just be warned if you do align the main focal point to 13? east the you will start struggling with 28.2? east as the span increases from a mere 9? to 15? if you where using a 1m dish this would accept the larger span due to the dishes larger surface area.

At present with 19.2? east being the focal point you have roughly the same span between 13? and 28.2? of around 6.5?

digicon really cant understand why i cant get jsc i was wondering weather it was due to me setting it up on ground level about 7 feet in the air

Why don't you try a single LNB set up on same dish on hotbird,
Then you will know if it is your set up or not,
If you still have the same problem with jsc then you can focus on rectifying that problem, if you are picking up jsc on a single LNB set up then you will know where your problem lies.

If you have a good satellite meter you should have no problem picking up these 3 sats,
But if you are using one of the cheap meters you may never get this set up bang on.
