multi lnb on Ross 65cm dish

[beegee 1]

I am Edinburgh based and I would like to know if it is possible to get 28. 19 and 13 using a multi lnb bracket on a Ross 65cm dish. If so what make of bracket would fit? what focus lnb? etc. Any further advice would be very welcome. I have 2 sky zone 2 dishes self- installed at present, one on 28 for my Humax foxsat PVR and another dish with a monoblock for 19 and 13. The problem with this is that it looks very clumsy and a one dish set up would be better.

Sadly 65cm is probably too small at your location - Others will confirm, but I suspect you'd need something closer to 90cm.

On the other hand, you should be able to bung an H-H DiSEqC Motor on the 65cm and get all three (and more).

You probably could get 19e and 13e

I think that if you used 19.2°E as your central LNB you'd stand a decent chance of it working. You'd probably need at least a couple of LNB's designed for multi sat, perhaps the Alps, Megasat (designed for 2° spacing) or the Inverto muti connect. I'd also suggest a universal multi bracket which will fit the LNB arm on the Ross dish (which I think is square section rather than round) Lot's of these available if you Google. Elevation and skew are important adjustments when trying to set up multisat so be prepared for some extensive tweaking of the set up. I'm certain there's another thread on here about a Ross dish and multi LNB's, would be worth you searching on here.

On a 60cm dish, I can catch 5°W, 1°W, 5°E, 9°E 23.5°E, with focus on 5°E using a universal multibracket. Good Luck!!

Would agree, a 65cm would be too small for a 15deg offset.

19e / 28e wouldn't a problem [in the South], but 13e would be an issue. Consider a decent 80cm dish.

No chance on a 65cm buddy, In Renfrewshire just 16 miles from Glasgow I get those three on my 80cm ISS mesh dish no problem. I think the best rule of thumb for satellite reception is "Buy a 80cm minimum".

I cede to your (and other respondants) knowledge and experience. It was just that I can get a 23° offset on my 60cm. I'd be tempted to have a go, but as you all know I'm certifiable!!

thanks for the replies guys. Sounds like I will stick with what I've got or invest ina larger dish.

65 cm will fit easy

In manchester I 'd installed all 3 on 60cm
