Computer is broke at the moment due to fried mobo or cpu. Will hopefully be doing a new i5 system build in the coming weeks as a priority. Last system was several years old a Barton 2500 XP system.

I have Standard Sky but unfortunately my Sony Sky
My Location
Yorkshire
What bracket do I need for three LNB's for 28, 19 and 13E? I have a Triax 78 dish. I have two single LNB's already for 13 and 19 but the bracket I have is just for them and I really need one so I can get 19 in the centre and so I can have a twin LNB at 28. Where would I be able to buy such a bracket from?

Cheers,
John
 
Hi John

From memory I do not think your dish is big enough for a third lnb spread from 13E to 28E although it is a Triax but I think you will need a 90cm but others will no doubt confirm that
 
The Triax Multiblock will do it. You want 13 and 19 on the right or the arm, and 28 on the left as you look at the dish.

The TD78 will do the job, but don't expect fantastic signal levels from it. I've a TD78 on those three and the signal levels are acceptable. If I was installing for a customer I would be recommending a TD88 though, to ensure that poor weather won't interupt their viewing.

Thanks. Do you know where I can get one from?

At the moment I have a bracket but I don't think its the right one its just for two LNBs.

It seems strange how the numbers marked on my bracket go from left to right because I believe the right LNB as you're looking at the horn would be the lowest number e.g. 13E, then next would be 19 and so on. I guess its just for help in the separation. Either way I have the wrong one I believe and it wont attach in to the main square arm of the triax I have.

If it proves that there is too much break up in bad weather then I can always get a bigger dish at a later date and maybe use that for something else or sell it. I'm sure I will get a bit of break up with the weather around here were I live. I'm also pretty sure that aircraft flying over and into land at Manchester sometimes cause a split second breakup especially when they're going in slowly flying into strong winds.

I just need this bracket now then and also a twin LNB for the Sky plus and I'll be good at least for now. Oh, and the cables I best not forget about them and the waterproof seals! One twin and two singles.

Cheers,
John

Ian @ Southern Satellite should be able to sort you one out.

That's not a Triax Multiblock, they do do a 2 LNB version as well as the 4 LNB Version. Both will attach to the arm inplace of your LNB holder.
 
The bracket the op has is a Orbital brand 9 degree (That's what the numbers are on it, they are degree markings that are relative to a 80cm dish), this wont be any use on a Triax dish as the fitting process on the arm is totally different amd would require a bit of modding to fit, and even then as I said it's only for 9 degrees spacing.
 
Inverto Multi-connect would do the job, but you would need to purchase the Inverto Multi-connect LNB's.
 
Have you tried to install three birds with 3 degree spacing with the Multi connect system they (Inverto) claim it's possible with this system but fail to mention on which dish size, Do you think it would be possible to have 13e,16e & 19e on a 80cm dish using this system?

The Inverto Multiconnect is fine with 3 degrees seperation, regards dish size I'd say a 80cm would be sufficient for where you are.
