My Satellite Setup
Receiver:Strong SRT4355
Fixed dish: 80cm.
LNB point to Hotbird 13E and try to pick up Eurobird 9E through 2nd.LNB
My Location
London
My 80 cm. dish align direct to Hotbird, get signal strength 75 - 80%. Now I add monobloc on the right, looking from LNB toward the dish, for Eurobird 9A. There are signal on the meter but not enough strength for receiver. The 2 monobloc are touch. Would the slim LNB help?

Please don't hijack an existing Thread: I have moved your Post and started a new Thread for you.
 
Are you using the correct Monoblock?

Many commonly available ones are 6 degree spacing, but you want a 4 degree one,
 
I use the slim lnbs and they work fine, the only time I get a drop in signal is when it rains heavy and I am on 16e but 9e,13e and 19e work regardless of the weather conditions.
 
No need for a multi LNb set up for those two satellites; you just need a 4.3° monobloc LNb.

Thanks for all information and advise. I successfully set it up by align direct to Eurobird9A, then attach 2nd LNB for Hotbird to the right, looking out from the dish toward LNB. The 2nd LNB position is almost touch the 1st but level slightly higher and further back. Signal strength 65% for both.
Again thank you for all useful information.
 
Very good indeed - thanks for letting us know how you got on :)
