[QUOTE="closetosoton, post: 129793, member: 184281"] starting from the begining: it seems your dish is pointing at 19.2E/23.5E, two satellites with 4 degrees seperation - with one monoblock lnb. normally people use a monoblock for 19.E/13E, two satellites with 6 degrees separation. it seems to me that your dish is not well aligned - assuming you want 19.2/13E (Astra1 & Hotbird). You will need to move the whole lot 4-5 degrees west. that's tilting it left as you look at it. The norm in UK is to have the dish pointing at 13E. This would mean the monoblock rightermost lnb is pointing at 13E and centered on the dish and the lefter most is 19.2E (imagine its like a mirror). If you have a just a standard lnb, try lining your dish up to 13E then fitting the monoblock. If the monoblock bracket can't be shifted around and must be centered and you have an 80cm dish, use a standard single monoblock to align with 16E, then fitting your monoblock you won't be far off 13E/19.2E. And to come back to your sat meter, you're right it can't choose. The monoblock will either be in its default position or last used position - i'm not sure. The meter I have is a loop through arrangement, so, so long as you've got it hooked up to your receiver and correctly set up the receiver to tune to known transponder frequencies on Astra/Hotbird and got your monoblock diseqc settings right you should know which lnb is in use... if that makes sense.... cts [/QUOTE]
