Sorry if this is covered elsewhere, I've done a lot of searching and can't quite find a 100% relevant post.

I have a 1.6m (I think) dish set up pointing at 28.2. This is working fine and getting all the UK channels with my DM7025, better than any system I've seen in this area - most people struggle with the channels on the UK focused footprint at least at some point in the day.

I want to add a monoblock 13 and 19.2 LNB, but leave the dish on it's current 28.2 alignment due to the way it's working so well!

Can anyone tell me if I am being unrealistic trying to offset by 9 and 15.2 degrees on my dish? Most of the posts I see on this seem to advise centering on 19.2 but I would then lose signal strength on 28.2 which I cannot cope with.

Cheers, in advance.

Not sure whether a monobloc will work, as they are designed for 80/90cm dishes, you may get away with 13 and 19E individual LNBs offset though, only way to see is to give it a try, if not, then just pop the monobloc on an 80cm dish.

Yes, I would leave the dish for 28e and install another dish for 19e & 13e with monbloc OR multi-bracket :D
