[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1066051, member: 369937"] For the best reception on a multi satellite setup, the dish used should be an elliptical type, they have a wider front end and can supply a stronger signal to the outside positioned LNB's. Most single satellite dishes setup for multi satellites only have at most a ten degree wide front end , here stateside the 3 prime satellites for most using Dish Network are 110, 119 and 129, for this a dish 1000 setup is used it can cover the 19 degree spread without problems. So find the locations of the satellites your looking for, take the highest location and deduct the lowest location, the remainder will give you an idea on how wide a front end would be needed for the dish. In your case several satellites are to the East of "0", then 30W is to the West of "0", for this your looking at a dish with at least a 40 degree wide front end. Something like this one would work...[code]https://digiwavetechnology.com/index.php/digiwave-36-inch-elliptical-satellite-dish.html[/code] This way you only have one dish to cover for most, but Astra 2 would still need to be on a second dish.
