Help Required Looking for multi-feed dish specialist!

[chibis68]

Hello everyone!
Thank you for accepting me to SatsUK!
So, I have existing 100x120mm dish with multifeed very similar to the one discribed in this post which requires re-alignment and possibly redirection..
Trouble is every sat dish/ aerial installer I tried to contact ended up saying "mate, I'm not messing up with multi-feed ones.." or stopped replying to my messages and calls.
So please please please pm me if you're at Bournemouth - Poole (Dorchester - Salisbury - Southampton) area and feel you can help.
Thank you!

Is the dish out of reach for you on a short ladder ?

No, it's easily accessible, just over the extension roof.
I had experience to align just one offset single LNB dish before using only basic signal detector but not sure I can do this job DIY with same equipment on multifeed...

Which satellites are you hoping to receive?

Which satellites are you hoping to receive?

13e - 19e - 28e in case that another 55mm dish currently directed to 28e will be able to pick up signal from 14w if not 13e - 16e - 19e then

Should be fairly easy to setup. Align the dish on 19.2°E. When looking at the front of the dish the 28.2°E LNB will be higher and to the left of the main LNB, 13°E east will lower and to the right.

55cm may be too small for 14°W, however it may be possible to get the other three satellites on it though you may need slim LNBs and a different bracket. Then use the larger dish for 14°W.

To give an indication of the 'higher' and 'lower', with 19E central at your location: that should be like a line about 13 edit: 16 degrees against the horizontal (viewing in the same direction as the LNBs).

Edit: sorry, typo..!

The installers do not have got a dish that can rotates left and right like this one.



So, you have to do the job yourself.
Like that:



24°E - 28°E ( orange ) -33°E - 39°E - 42°E - 45°E = 6 LNBs on one dish.

For 14°W you need a Triax TD 88 ( 84cm / 94 cm )

They do, but so far the new member has not posted an image of the dish they have, only that it is similar to the orignal one in the thread.

I've been supplying elliptical dishes for years btw and promote the Ka band kit on here whenever it looks to be a gift.

Many installers will have the the L shaped mount from the Zone 2 Sky dish that allows the pole to be rotated. Or hang the bracket from the central LNB and tilt the rail. A long neck LNB may be required.

Either way it sounds like the OP's setup was previously working and just needs realigning.

Hi.
Yes, it was previously aligned on 4.8E - 9E - 13E and worked almost perfectly with exeption of some Scandinavian transponders from 5E until roofing people came )

There was also the Prodelin ro/rx version for Ku, the 1950.


But the Europe/UK distributors failed.

You could adjust that from the velux window. It might just need a prod with a broomstick.

Looking closer at the DiSEqC switches on the pole, one wire has come adrift, unless it was an old discarded item.

No, you just do not have a 100 cm / 120 cm тарелка.
If you had such a big dish then you would get all these channels from 14°W :

Off topic

The real hit in 2022 is the satellite at 14°W.
It has the potential to crate new unexpected incomes for the installers.
The good news is that the customer needs a bigger dish for that satellite in order to be able to watch the transponder 11544 V 14182 ( Звезда ).
And the customer gets dozens of new channels to watch, so he is happy too.

The imagery suggests it is a Triax 1m dish, the vertical dimension is nearer 1.1m.

Having three fixed LNBs would prevent 14W from being received, not sure why you mentioned it on this thread.
