[QUOTE="Adam792, post: 753830, member: 330868"] Found this thread through a search; I've got a new 80cm dish and I've attached a universal style multi-bracket to it (in itself a bit of a faff seeing as Faval doesn't comply with 'universal' it seems and I had to drill my own hole in the plastic attachment to bolt the aforementioned bracket onto the dish...). I've got the dish aligned at 7°E, with 13°E and 19.2°E offset on one side - these are working fine. I'm now attempting to put another LNB on the other side, aligned at either 1°W (for the strongest stuff, but hence the alignment to 7°E to give it just a little more of a chance), or 5°W. Having looked at this, is it likely then that 5°W won't work as the LNB will be too high? I had a brief go earlier but couldn't seem to get any lock whatsoever, although it was very bright and I couldn't see the TV screen through the window particularly well and gave up quickly. Not tried 1°W yet but my (sketchy) understanding of it is that because I'm at around 2°W in my current location, that's the 'peak' of my arc so to speak, and therefore that's why 5°W would be too high, but 1°W should be OK? And am I likely to get 1°W at all anyway? I've heard differing reports. I'm after the NRK and SVT transponders and the UPC ones. These seem to be some of the strongest ones when I'm aligned on 1°W luckily. [/QUOTE]
