Best bracket for universal lnbs.

[roaduser]

I want to run 13 and 19 off 1 dish. Have done it before with a monoblock but not possible now with a switch to the oval for 28. Anyone made their own?

Simple clamp on universal offset bracket, normally fully adjustable. Several on eBay or our site advertisers ;)

Yep.

Got 13E, 19E and 5W on one of those cheap brackets.

what size dish? didnt think you could get such a wide degree.

 

[satelliteman]

I've had that on a 70cm; a Raven-G70 with E/W offset bracket.

5w is very strong.

There is also the Maximum E85 which gets a wide spread of satellites easily.

Have a look at this thread

It's a pity he didn't paint the dish to match the house, it looks like a blackhead or a big pimple.

DIY from simple galvanized stuff out of any nuts&bolts shop. Very cheap.

Similar to Satelliteman, only it is an ancient BSkyB "Analogue" Dish: I seem to recall I measured it at a little under 70cm in one dimension, but they were generally described as 60cm.

It's only for SWMBO, so I didn't want to spend a lot of money (or effort!) on it

I use those too on a number of dishes. They can be bent to the right angle too.

same here i have one on a orbital 80cm with 28.2/19.2/13 east

bought a nice inverto black ultra and a bracket but had no luck at all. i thought it would straight forward, a little adjustment here a little there to get the best reception, but zero. Ive moved the cable after checking it was ok to the new LNB and slightly moved it bit by bit and have my switch no. set to hotbird and nothing. I did have hotbird as the main focus with my old monoblock but this time i have astra 19. maybe this is the problem.

 

[roaduser]

sorted! put it on the wrong side hadnt I

even so i think theres a tree in the way as getting signal strength going up and down.

If the pic is showing astra 1 as the prime focus, shouldn't the offset for hotbird be on the other side?
Edit : Ah - you just beat me to it :-)
