One dish, 3 satellites??

Just curious as to the types of LNB used on the Zone 2 dish, did you use Sky Quad LNB's or just standard one's

using inverto ones

using inverto ones

If your using the inverto's did you extend the length of the Zone 2 LNB arm as this is required if using standard LNB's as the arm in its current state is made for the Official Sky Quads there feedhorn and focal point are shaped differently to maximise the shortness of the LNB arm and the Oval (Egg Shape) of the dish.

I have the same setup but i use the quads which are ideal for the dish in an un-modified state, i have 19.2? east as the main focus with both 13? east and 28.2? east as the offsets and i receive all 3 no problem.

The problem you may encounter is in severe weather, i have zero problems with both the 19.2? and 28.2? east but i do lose some of the Italy transponders but have never lost the JSC ones

Do you have another LNB you can try, or even swap the one over from the 28.2? east feed for the 13? east feed.

I am in the same area my friend and i receive everything on those 3 birds the only difference is i have used the Official Product LNB's and you have 1 official and 2 after market so to speak

i had them all working b 4 just cant understand now

[djpopeye1971]

by the way i got it 7 feet in the air on speaker stand to set up you think that may be a problem

height off the ground has no relevance, all it has to have is clear line of sight from the satellites and can be at ground level or fifty feet in the air

the length of the lnb arm has relevance and may need to be extended to get all 3 in focus, or use a larger dish which will have a longer lnb arm anyway as well as a greater surface area

it could be an lnb fault too as all the channels seen in the uk have strong signals from hotbird

you say your getting 76sq on hotbird which transponder is that on?
jsc is on 11.296.h.27500 change the transponder on the meter or stb to 11.296.h.27500 then do a re-scan on that freq to see what happens. regards mdt

cant change it i think i may need a 80 cm dish

This is quite strange as previously you said you had the Italian channels no problem can you also get the HD on 13? east as the DVB-S2 TP's are slightly weaker than there SD counterpart
