Hi all!

I living in Reading at the moment and have a question about setting up my dish and LNB's

I see what you have is the same as what I like...

Astra 2, Astra 1 and Hotbird

Can you tell me how far your lnb's are appart from one and another?
I seem to have only the Astra 2 and Astra 1. They are 7.5 cm appart pointing the middle one to the astra 2

the 3th lnb is not yet setup.

This is what I have:

ArchSat Elliptical 75x65 cm
3x Singel LNB 0.2 Db
Dreambox 500s

Tx for your help

By the way:
I'll post some pic's later :-looky

So called capital of Suffolk, UK.
I've just had a word with my brother Northants, I set his up as follows on an 80cm dish. !9east as main focus, 13east LNB just a fraction apart from
the 19 east LNB and slighty lower. The 28east LNB is 3 fingers width apart from the central LNB and slightly higher.

The distance between the LNBs will vary depending on the type of bracket and dish size/type.

On that set up, the middle LNB needs to be on Astra 1, then Hotbird to the right and Astra 2 to the left as you look at the dish from behind the LNB.
