[QUOTE="StevenJay, post: 950955, member: 406693"] Hi All, I started the thread that [USER=176362]@Analoguesat[/USER] referred to above; [URL='https://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/threads/motorhome-dish-search-criteria.167143/']HERE[/URL] but reading through many of these posts, this thread is just as important to me. Basically I am trying to convert my Teleco Magic Sat 2002A to receive both TV and two way satellite internet. So first job was to convert the dish to be able to support two twin LNB's, so four coax cables, which I succeeded in doing quite easily, rather than the £200 plus for just a twin that the Teleco agents wanted. I will be doing a write-up later for my Motorhome forum if anybody is interested. That done I now need to get the dish to search and lock on to Astra3 at 23.5 deg for the internet then to Astra2 at 28.2 for UK TV. Analoguesat kindly suggested some numbers to try as the Criteria for 23.5 which I put into the 28 deg NE position in the box and the dish turned to what appeared to be 23.5 when I called up 28NE but when I tried using 28SE it still seems to point to 23.5 so things get a bit mysterious as I don't fully understand what all the numbers mean. The dish was finding 28.2 OK with the Criteria on the Teleco web site before. But I went through the laborious button pushing again to change the 28SE to the figures posted above but it still moves to roughly 23.5. But I couldn't get any stations with my Comag box. So you can imagine I am somewhat perplexed. I don't think there is a way to add a new satellite position unless there is another secret menu, any body know of a way. When i contacted TELECO agents they said there was no way to tune to 23.5 I would have to buy a new control box, but it appears to be pointing to 23.5, I will know more when my iLNB and internet modem arrives so I can check whether it is actually aligning with the 23.5 satellite. My eventual hope when I have it all set up is to use one normal twin LNB on a second bracket to the right of the Satellite iLNB, one feed to connect to the TELECO box for searching then the second feeding the Comag or Sky box so as to have max signal then when that is aligned for TV the Satellite iLNB should be automatically aligned on 23.5 to get the up and down signals via the other twin coax. Hope I am explaining myself correctly. So any thoughts ? the picture below is what I want to achieve. That dish as you can see is exactly like the 2002A. It would be nice to actually get hold of that twin LNB bracket. Steve [ATTACH=full]87350[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
