Standing in front of the dish and looking at it 28E will be to the LEFT of the 19E lnb -- dont forget the dish acts like a mirror & reverses directions.


28E----19E----13E

And you might squeeze an extra one one for 23.5E if the caps are narrow enough.

True, but the actual LNB holders on the rail may stop you from getting LNB's close enough together even if the LNB's are narrow in profile.

No & we got fed up of that forum trying to drop links to their forum & business so an auto filter was put on the word. Unfortunately it also blocks out the name of the Als&t TV channel on 16E :D

However we wont allow scurrilous attacks on other forums as that just encourages forum wars and no-one wins those.

I don't know what brand of dish I inherited it when I moved in , I remeasured it and maybe its only an 80c It is too Bloody cold right now to do any work on the dish and too snowy and icy
