[QUOTE="a33, post: 1041214, member: 332642"] Well, you've had lots of advice now, about finding a satellite (or finding 19e). I don't want to confuse you, but would like to add the following. Personally, I would first buy or lend a (cheap) satellite beeper; as finding a (any) satellite can be tricky sometimes, let alone a specific satellite. The advantage of a satellite beeper is, that when you found A satellite, you can check with programm lists allready within your receiver, or with a scan of that satellite (using lyngsat, kingofsat, flysat etc), which satellite that is, and then decide if you need to go left or right/ up or down to find the looked-for satellite. But maybe you're lucky and you'll be finding 19e, 13e, 28e or 23e or so without a beeper. (Using a sat-beeper, I wouldn't mind trying satfinding with a by-rider LNB. You can sweep the dish left and right and will probably find a satellite signal somewhere; and from there decide if you have to search higher/lower, more left/right. But you can choose yourself how to do this.) Another issue is[B] setting up a multifeedrail with no 'central' LNB[/B]. The issue being, that when you found one satellite, to find the other you have to finetune the whole dish again when you have trouble finding/finetuning the second satellite. If you set the multifeedrail to the proper skewness [B]before[/B] searching/finding the first satellite on the rail (not being the central satellite), the finding and finetuning of the second satellite will be a matter of only sliding the LNB along the rail, and the first LNB doesn't need any afterwards finetuning again. For your location the rail skewness for 28e and 13e is [B](about) -16.1 degrees from the horizontal[/B], with the 13e LNB lower than the 28e LNB (remember the mirror-mechanism!). If the TRIAX-rail doesn't allow that skewness at the moment, then turn the metal part of the rail upside down and a greater skew will be possible. (The small misadjustment of LNB-height as a result of that is not important.) Good luck tomorrow! greetz, A33 [/QUOTE]
