[QUOTE="Fisty McB, post: 1159263, member: 389824"] A slight change made in my setup recently - the 4.3 degree monoblock wasn't getting either Turksat 42E or HellasSat 39E on Dish 2 properly, so it was decided to try and use two separate LNBs to receive each position. Adding the LNB for Turksat was fine, but HellasSat was not due to the steep downward elevation of the LNB meaning any LNB bracket was fouling the LNB arm, so instead I've fixed an additional LNB for 39E to the extreme right-end of the Wavefinder T90, clamped to the LNB for 36E, leaving now just three LNBs on the Dish 2 monster. With these two new seperate LNBs in place, SNR readings are better for both satellites than what they were with the monoblock. [ATTACH]154784[/ATTACH] Given recent goings on with Vivacom on Hot Bird, if they're going to make 13E their new home then it might be worth focusing the 1.2 metre Dish 2 on 46E alone, adjusting the LNBs for 52E & 42E respectively. Time will tell. [/QUOTE]
