astra1,2 and hotbird
My Location

i have an 80cm dish with 3 LNB setup for astra2(28deg), astra1(19deg) and hotbird(13deg). I have only managed to tune in astra2 so far. The manual says to fix the dish at astra1 first but my manhattan 250ST cannot distinguish between astra1 and 2 and I only have a cheapo SLX sat finder. I get the same strength/quality. Can anyone give me an idea of the distances from the centre nut to each LNB for SW London ?

This might help a little. This is a picture of my triax multi-bracket when i had it on my triax 80cm. The LNBs (from left to right) are 28E,23.5E,19E,13E,5E. I'm in Lancashire, although I'm not sure they'll be a lot of difference.
Remember that the 28E LNB will be a few cm higher than the 13E LNB for me anyway (see the second picture).
