In fact, in some ways it can be easier to set up 3x LNBs for 3x reasonably closely-spaced sats than to set up for 2 sats because, generally, you aim the centre LNB on the feedarm at the middle sat, get that set up, and then deal with the ones on either side.Then, once you have set up one of the above pairs/triples on one dish, you will then get a pretty good idea of where to point the next dish in terms of both azimuth, elevation & skew (you have to set the skew "per sat" on fixed dishes)  !</blockquote>
