Triax Multi LNB Holder

[iandoh]

The best way I found was to install a long neck LNB in the dish's original holder and then hang the whole bracket from that LNB (using one of the bracket's holders, the central mount thing isn't needed). Then align the dish as usual on a satellite, then align offset LNBs by skewing the bracket around the main LNB and moving them along the rail.

I tried this and got better results but I had an issue finding the exact middle of the bar to line it up and get the curve properly. Also twisting the LNBs moved the bracket sadly.

What size is that dish ?
I see 3 lnb’s close together , maybe you need one with a smaller feedhorn in the middle of them .

1m and a 1.2m above it.


I also should have been more clear that the install was in Burgas, Bulgaria and not Estonia as my profile states. In Estonia, I had no problem with the custom made bracket a local sat shop make that is far better than this triax junk.

Hi again everyone,

I tried a few of the suggestions on here last night but none of them were working as I expected, then this morning I saw this post and thought I'd give it another go with the directions.
Nailed it. Realigning the dish at 13E with the LNB on the right side allowed me to get 19e and 13e with optimial signal, along with 10E/9E & 5E at the end.

So, what do you think was the difference in what you did now, as compared to what you did earlier, when you didn't succeed?

Here are your dishes, aren't they ?

I aligned the dish then adjusted the height as you said, rather than adjusting the metal bar. Once I had signal on 19e and 13e I tried 9e and 5e and they both came in perfectly.

Yep, the smaller dish has been replaced with the 10e/9e LNB now.

Ah, nice that the procedure worked!

If you ever need to do finetuning, do that on 19E and 5E, the two outer satellites! That might bring even more precision to the rail-skew setting..
