Is it possible that you can pickup more than one satellite with one LNB? I have an 80cm dish and I've been stuggling with satellites. I spent a while today with a cheap meter connected to a PC with Satfinder and I noticed some strange things. Mostly, the signal meter would pick be up a satellite and beep and I'd check what it was, the PC might say Astra 2D. I would then move the sat ever so slightly and notice the meter's tone change. When I rescaned I now had Astra 2D, 19.2E and 28.2E.
Is this possible or am I reading something wrong?

Unless you have a monobloc lnb then it is one satellite only per lnb. The same frequency, polarisation, SR and FEC details are re-used across the arc on many satellites. You can only receive what you are pointing at
