[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 889431, member: 369937"] With two satellites 15 degrees apart you will be pointing right in-between the two, so the dish only needs a 15 degree receive bandwidth, as the LNB's will only be 7.5 degrees ether side of center. Just check the dishes receive beamwidth, but one thing, most round prime focus dishes are set up for only one LNB at the prime focal area, some round dishes would be OK, but the focus area of the signals 7.5 degrees off center may not be as strong. This is why they came out with the elliptical dish, it has a much wider receive beamwidth then the single satellite dish, so I would look around for a 1.2 meter elliptical dish, you will be much happier with the performance, and will save a bunch of hair when trying to align the two LNB's.
