Help with setting up multi lnb dish

[Woffelmannen]

Hello! I am quite new to setting up a dish so be easy with me. I recently got an old 115 cm dish with four lnbs. I wounder if it's possible to recieve the Freesat channels and some russian channels. Other channels are just a bonus. Could someone tell me if this is possible and how I should do it? I live in Varberg, Sweden
Thanks in advice //Marcus

There are some Russian channels on different satellites, such as 4,8*E and 138E. many are on 36*E, but for them you need circular LNB and maybe little bit bigger dish. Are you looking for some particular channels or anything Russian counts?

Anything russian will do for me

Than install your dish 28,2*E-19,2*E-13*E-4,8*E and you fill get lots of channels, including some Russian. For some you will need subscription, not all are Free To Air (FTA).

If I stand in front of the dish and look at it, is 28.2E right to the left? And which satellite should I check the signal from when I align the dish?

Yes, 28,2*E will be most left LNB. Aligning dish, I would say 19,2*E must be central LNB.

You are in luck - Varberg sits within the first 28.2E side-lobe, and you should be able to pick up some 28.2E if your dish is not dented or warped.
(But you are STILL on the small side of dish sizes - 120cm is better).
A good LNB will be essential (Inverto Black ultra is a good candidate).
Russian stuff - unless you are happy with RT (Russia Today), you need a separate dish pointing elsewhere with a different type of LNB (as the other posters describe).

I would think OP would need to center 28.2E
While he lives in a good spot (just within the side-lobe for 28.2E), he still needs a 100cm+ dish for good reception.
120cm is preferred, although I'm getting reasonable results of a 100cm (albeit a Channel Master), but not 24/7 and no rain-fade tolerance.
Setting 28.2E on the edges would make reception even more patchy...

Looking at OP's pics, I think he has a Triax TD110, which is really a 97 cm dish (Width == 100 cm according to specs).
He should be centering on 28.2E, and use a separate (large) dish for Russian stuff.

My Triax dish is a TD64 which is 64 cm width. You said that 28.2E should be in the middle, which one should then be on the left side? And the last question for this post, into which lnb should I plug my signal meter?

You will need at least a TD88 for the spread you require
