Sky and Hotbird 13 deg

Hi

Would be interested to know if it would be possible to receive both sats, my location is south Germany and i have a 90 cm dish aimed at at astra 28, i also receive astra 19 on this dish and was wondering if the hotbird 13 would be possible as well or is a 15 deg difference between dish alignment and lnb alignment to much?

TIA

Hotbird should be OK.

south east or south west Germany?

I am just south of Zurich with 28/19/13 on a 1m Gilbertini, no problemo. Prime focus 28 and naturally weaker hotbird TPs are occasionally lost in heavy rain/snow. Plus the snow starts to lay on my dish, it seems, in the exact place hotbird is reflecting from

I am in Nuernberg,so if it is possible how do i connect the three lnb,s together, on my setup at the moment the astra 28 is prime focus and the lnb for astra 19 is right at the end of the monoblock, is that whats its called? Anyway i have no more space for the third lnb for hotbird as the `monoblock´ if thats its name is to short. Any ideas would be appreciated.

TIA

Nick

3 thin lnbs and diseqc switch would work

Thanks for the replies, firstly i used the wrong term i dont have a monoblock, i just have my 2nd lnb (the one for astra 19) on a lnb holder, but i cant seem to find anywhere that sells one that is suitable for a triax dish which will offer a 15 deg difference between my prime focus lnb and the outside lnb. Any ideas would be great

Just had a idea, i guess i could replace my lnb looking at 19 astra and replace it with a monoblock with 2 lnb´s with a 6 deg spacing between them, this should enable me to get hotbird shouldnt it?

Thanks again for the help.....

Multifeedhalter is what you seek
I did have an offset monoblock on one of these but now have 3 LNBs - I'd recommend 3 LNBs as you have more fine-tuning possibilities...
