Hi there,
I am considering upgrading to an 80cm dish with 4 offset lnbs. I will have 2 aimed at hotbird and at astra 2. The other 2 I will have spare, and I was considering aiming these elsewhere for feeds. I realise that there are 3 satellites, 7,10 and 16 degrees, which all seem to have pretty decent feeds on all the time. With only 2 lnbs spare, which 2 satellites should I choose? Bear in mind that I live in Northern Ireland, so the footprints may not be ideal. Would 80cm be big enough for this purpose? Also, which sat should primary focus be at? I understand that feeds are generally pretty weak signals, so maybe I should aim at one of the feed sats, say 10deg?
Thanks for any help
