[QUOTE="guest poster, post: 547667, member: 262401"] [B][I][U]How well do side by side lnbs actually work on a moving dish?[/U][/I][/B] Last time we did it was about 10 years ago I think it was disappointing and only worked on a bit of the arc it was setup. The offset lnb will only be in the right place at one point on the arc (where it was set up and tested) and too high or low elsewhere on the arc even with being able to move the offset lnb to any satellite. It might work a bit haphazardly, but to do the C/KU thing on one dish without using a combi.. you have to use a system to swap the lnbs to the focal point or another system is to put the second lnb on top or below the main one and use an actuator for incline to also tilt the whole dish between lnbs at any given point on the arc as well as adjust for incline on some sats. Anyone got more on this? :cool: [/QUOTE]
