We use universal Lnb,s.

At present I have 2 X1.2 dishes. I want to use 3 receivers with 1X 1.2 m dish and 3 X 90CM dishes by way of a diseqc switch.I have noted the fancy way and hope an easier way is possible.

Polar Mount tracking dish 1.2 M situated in Hermanus ,Western Cape. 4 dishes via diseqc switch,dish positioner with single LNB.

I wish to switch between 3 satellite receivers linked to one dish.Can members please advise me how to go about it.That is other than to remove the dish cable from the one receiver to another.

Thanks Mate there may be a next time.I was in the UK last March,however,at 87 my travelling days are limited.It is sad that this wonderfull hobby is just about dying.(at least in South Africa).I was the second person in Zimbabwe to have satellite television in 1986.We use to watch Jane Pauley...

Satfaca have drink on me this evening at your local pub.Discovered dampness penetrated my four core cable which was laid about 15 years ago. Thanks Mate appreciated.

I am coming back to this topic as the replacement actuator is also giving me an ER2 message ie No feedback from sensor or reach to hardware limits.A reputable satellite Company in South Africa is clearing out their stock of actuators due to a dying hobby.Channel Hopper advised me in a posting...

Thanks Mate,appreciated.

To further clarify, I am referring to the position of the cable connector on the lnb facing the dish.

Thanks Enosat.I am next to the sea at 33.91 and 18.45. Hermanus Western Cape,South Africa. On the 12 hour clock what does 21 and 23 degrees equate too.

Thanks Terryl.I did that but my problem is that I receive a signal from both satellites at a skew of 7 o,clock.I know 7 o,clock is correct for E4.8 but need confirmation that it is 5 o,clock for E7 in deed.

Could a member kindly advise what the skew position is for the above satellites from my position in South Africa at 34 Lat and 19 long against a 12 hour clock looking at the front of the dish.I was advised 7 o,clock for E4.8 and 5 o,clock for E7.I am enquiring due to the closeness of the two...

Thank you Channel Hopper.

Writing from South Africa I am looking for the above receiver which I think was launched around 2010.If one is available it can be shipped to my daughter in the UK.Please advise price.

Noted with thanks.
