Hi Is it possible to have astra 19 and 28 deg plus hotbird 13 on one dish i live in north manchester.

yes m8, ive seen it done using a zone 2 65cm eliptical dish here in bolton using 3x 0.1db smart lnb,s hooked up to a maxx1000 and it works great although if i were installing one id choose a 80cm dish for extra heavy weather protection. regards mdt

I have it working on a 80cm dish with 28e been the prime satellite, with a Mono-block next to it receiving 19e & 13e, I had to make a extra Bracket due to the weight of the Mono-Block especially in bad weather.

But Yes it does Work.

[thijs]

have it working with a triax 90cm dish and triax bracket with four quad lnb'S one extra for astra 23.5 never any problems in ireland anyway

[davvo]

i have 28.2 23.5 19 16 13 5 east

homemade bracket

1m lenson heath dish

will add 10 and 42 east


i made the bracket like this
50cm length of ali tube
bolt that to dish arm with a small plate i made
then made the lnb holders like in pic
slide lnb holders on ali tube
screw the hanger on the bolt up and down for elevation

to make lnb holder

get a jubilee clip that fits around lnb
drill a hole at bottom of clip
put a 2 or 3 inch length bolt through the hole
put a nut and washer on it

get a small jubilee clip wrap around tube so it looks like a p clip (see pic2)
drill 2 holes

slide that on bolt put a nut and washer on each side


to make the plate that fits to lnb arm and holds the tube
i got a flat peice of metal drilled 2 holes and fixed to dish arm

at tube end of plate i bent plate down a little drilled 2 holes
in plate and tube (see pic 3) and fixed with small nuts and bolts



cost ?2 to make 6 lnb holders
ali tube cost me nothing

Hi everyone
I'm completely new in this forum.
Is it possible for me to have Astra 28 and hotbird satellite in one dish while I'm living in Dublin. Ireland?

Hi. Guys why not invest in a motor?? I think its a lot cheaper and maybe less hassle...Take care.

i have a motorized as well as a multi lnb set up all working from one box
i get instant zap on 6 sats 5 from the multi lnb and 1 from where i park the motor

[Nutsandbolts]

Hi davvo. Very impressed. Do you have 2 dishes and a disecq switch for the LNB's?? Regards

i have a motorized as well as a multi lnb set up all working from one box
i get instant zap on 6 sats 5 from the multi lnb and 1 from where i park the motor

mine is connected as instant zap on 28e on 3 and 30w on 4and the first position (one) is my darkmotor for the rest, using a 4 way diseqc switch

and as I use a twin output inverto ultrablack lnb, the second output feeds an 8 way switch with 5 fixed lnb,s and one being the second feed from the motorised triax td110 dish

and to answer the dublin question, providing the dish is big enough to cope , say 80cm to 110cm then yes you should get 13e and 28e on the one dish, and 19e as well

[davvo]

yeah 2 dishes 1 motorized and 1 multi lnb
going to a 8 way disecq switch then to a dm800

[davvo]

just one problem tho
i hardley watch the bloody thing
spend more time tinkering with it

[Nutsandbolts]

Hi davvo. Cant believe you hardly watch the bloody thing. You must have better things to do then. If you like tinkering so much see if you can conjure up a magic patch that will open everything for us. Take care.
