My System: 1m dish currently pointing at 5 degrees W to get French channels
My 1m fixed dish with 4 LNB setup

Here's a couple of pictures of my 1m fixed dish, with 4 LNBs.

The dish is pointed at Sirius 4.8E.
The LNBs are picking up 28.2E, 19.2E, 13E and 5W. Since the photos were taken, I've swapped the 5W LNB for a dual LNB feeding two boxes - digital and analogue, to get more French channels than just on the digital output from 5W.

Nice strong signals from all four satellites, and plenty of channels to play with.

My System: 1m dish currently pointing at 5 degrees W to get French channels

It's around 30cm between the 5W and 13E LNBs. The 19.2E is another 10cm or so further along.

I've since been donated an old sky dish, so I've set that up on 28E to get a better signal from there - in very bad weather, which we get a lot of here, I was struggling a bit with the 4LNB setup.

The signal from 5W is great with my digital box, but with an old analogue box I picked up recently (to get TF1) it's not perfect. Watcheable, but with a little speckling. I might, if I can be bothered, move the big dish round a bit more towards 5W given that I don't need the 28E signal from the same dish now.... when I get round to it, that is.

I've now got all four satellites feeding the bedroom and 5W feeding the sitting room, so I've got a nice selection of TV all over the place now.
