My System: 3 lnb dreambox 500
setting up my dish and 3 single LNB's

Hi all!

I living in Reading at the moment and have a question about setting up my dish and LNB's

I see what you have is the same as what I like...

Astra 2, Astra 1 and Hotbird

Can you tell me how far your lnb's are appart from one and another?
I seem to have only the Astra 2 and Astra 1. They are 7.5 cm appart pointing the middle one to the astra 2

the 3th lnb is not yet setup.

This is what I have:

ArchSat Elliptical 75x65 cm
3x Singel LNB 0.2 Db
Dreambox 500s

Tx for your help

By the way:
I'll post some pic's later

My System: Smart lnb, 1m Gibby dish, Stab motor, TM5200D receiver, 57east to 61west. DTT from Sudbury. Virgin Media broadband.

I've just had a word with my brother Northants, I set his up as follows on an 80cm dish. !9east as main focus, 13east LNB just a fraction apart from
the 19 east LNB and slighty lower. The 28east LNB is 3 fingers width apart from the central LNB and slightly higher.

My System: Sky+, DB 7000s, Gemini 4.3 in flash, Var on USB stick. Transparent 80cm Dish, Moteck SG2100 DiseqC motor, lots of legacy gear. Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Unaohm EP313, Swires Annie 204 Spectrum, Rover ST-4 Spectrum.

The distance between the LNBs will vary depending on the type of bracket and dish size/type.

My System: IDD CI24 ECONO MM Penta 1.20 Galaxy II 1.2Mtr Polar MTG yes it has been on the arc for 21 years and is still driven by a modified wiper motor from a Ford Anglia. It's like me sometimes groans but always performs

On that set up, the middle LNB needs to be on Astra 1, then Hotbird to the right and Astra 2 to the left as you look at the dish from behind the LNB.
