[QUOTE="Condar, post: 1070331, member: 413668"] Bear in mind that I’m new to this black art of satellite alignment! I did manage to successfully set up the dish with the quattro LNB aimed at 28.2e. I then tried using a 2-way multi LNB holder having the quattro LNB and a regular LNB. On Dishpointer, and for my location, the requirements are: (there are no values for [B]only[/B] 19.2e and 28.2e): [B]A: Satellite[/B]: 28.2E, 19.2E(c), 5W [B]Elevation[/B]: 24.8° [B]Azimuth (true)[/B]: 149.4° [B]Azimuth (magn.)[/B]: 152.4° Dish Skew: 73.2° [B]B: Satellite[/B]: 28.2E ASTRA 2E | ASTRA 2F | ASTRA 2G [B]Elevation[/B]: 21.5° [B]Azimuth (true)[/B]: 139.6° [B]Azimuth (magn.)[/B]: 142.5° LNB Skew: -15.3° [B]C: Satellite[/B]: 19.2E ASTRA 1KR | ASTRA 1L | ASTRA 1M | ASTRA 1N [B]Elevation[/B]: 24.8° [B]Azimuth (true)[/B]: 149.4° [B]Azimuth (magn.)[/B]: 152.4° LNB Skew: -10.2° I tried [B]A[/B] above and could get 28.2e but not 19.2e. Perhaps I didn’t experiment enough. The Dish skew of 73.2° is perhaps the problem as I don’t know how to achieve that value. So a few questions: 1 should the quattro LNB be mounted on the holder so that it’s centrally located; align the dish to 28.2e (e.g Channel 4); and then slide the single LNB on the holder until I receive, for example, Das Erste, on 11836 H?; or 2 should the single LNB be mounted on the holder so that it’s centrally located; align the dish to 19.2e (e.g Das Erste); and then slide the quattro LNB on the holder until I receive, for example, Channel 4?; or 3 somehow, point the dish at 23.7° (which is halfway between 19.2 and 28.2) and then slide each of the LNBs on the holder on either side of the centre until the desired signals are received? And how to achieve the dish skew of 73.2°? Is dish skew the same as LNB skew? If so, why does Lyngsat refer to LNB skew (when there is only one LNB) and Dish skew (when there is more than one LNB?).
