| I suggest you use a 6 degree Monoblock LNB (Two heads in one unit). Although designed for optimal performance with 80cm Dishes, they will work happily with a 60cm Dish in a strong signal area (like yours) and are easier to set up than two single LNBs on a bracket. | ||

My System: TM6800HD, TM1000, TM600 Linux,TM5200, TM2200 motor, Triax TD110 dish + Fortec 85cm. Meter=Satlook Micro+G2 NIT | Actually you can put three on if you want, eg 9e, 13e, 19e. That will work too, but you need LNBs with smallish heads, like the Inverto singles. Using separate LNBs is good if you want to feed 28E from another dish to the receiver too. | ||

Blog Entries: 5 My System: Pace Sky HD, DM7000s, CubeRevo 3000HDPVR, Transparent 80cm Dish, Moteck SG2100 DiseqC motor, lots of legacy gear. Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Televes H45 Digital Spectrum analyser. | I recently set up a 60cm with a 6 degree monobloc for 13 East and 7 East, centred on 7 East, it still gave a workable signal on Hotbird, but was nearly a degree out. | ||
