Hello there,
I have a multi lnb bracket on a 90cm dish, the bracket is capable of holding 4 lnbs. With this in mind which satellites could i pick up with this dish. The satellites that interests me most are 13e, 7e, 0.8w, 23.5e, 4.7e,
Out of the above satellites which ones could i realistically pick up on my multibracket and which satellite would be the best to foucus centrally. I really do need 13e and 7e and any other 2 satellites out of the above would be great. Or which other satellites could i add to go with 13e and 7e but i do not want 19.2e though
Thank You
Colin

Is the multisat bracket offset to one side, or centralised and how many degrees does it cover?

Also, is there a requirement for 5°E Nordic beam?

You won't be able to get 4.8E and 7E, so if 7E is essential, then you will have to lose 4.8E.

Depending on the bracket, I'd be tempted to focus on 10E, then see how 0.8W and 23.5E are. Then bias the whole thing one way or the other depending which of the end ones needs more signal. You won't get the German beam on 23.5E anyway.

Hi there,

I have a basic 4 LNB setup on my 1m dish and have no problems getting 28.2e 19.2e 13e & 7e. There is also enough space between 28.2 & 19.2 to get 23.5e with standard size LNB's.

With (28.2e, 19.2e) & (13e, 7e) either side of the LNB arm.

The bracket is centralised and i think it covers around 15 degrees

Ive seen this item which is situated in Canada and it looks a very good bracket. But im not sure if this would work in the uk on my 90cm dish. Any views or advice on this item would be appreciated. Item number is 150494685428

5e nordic beam or 0.8w nordic beam along with the german beam on 23.5e would not be required anyway regardless if i was able to pick up. The only channels on 23.5e i want are the dutch channels. 0.8w looks an interesting satellite and if its not possible for receiving 4.7e and 7e then i can do without 4.7e. Has anyone any other suggestions to a satellite i could pick up with 7e and 13e but i do not want 19.2e and 28.2e

Bump for the OPs benefit - couldn't find a way of overcoming timing of Posts to force this one to the end of the merged Thread regardless.
