Hello

My current set up is a Technomate 7755 with a Triax 88cm dish, pointing at 13E. Im thinking of going for a multi-lnb set up, and rather liked the look of the Inverto kit, c/w 4 slim line lnbs. Would this be a reasonably straight forward set up. Done some experimenting with dish alignment over the weekend, and found I can get 28.2,23.5 and 19.2, so channels are scanned into the Technomate ready. There isnt a great deal of information on the manual about diseq set up, so would a receiver upgrade be neccessary, to accomodate multiple lnbs?

Thanks.
 
As long as the receiver has diseqc 1.0 capability you would not need to upgrade it.

For those satellites on a td88 you don't need the multiconnect system, the triax multiblock would do the job as the sats are not too close together, and cheaper than the inverto system.
 
Hi Robbo, thanks for your reply.

Was thinking I may pick up a feed for 28E from the Zone 2 dish I have, just need to change to a quad output lnb, so the plan at the moment is 13,16,19 and 23.5 with 16 at prime focus. Tempted also to maybe change to a 1.1m triax dish, to gain a bit more signal and possibly add more positions in the future.
 
Are the LNBs going to be singles? or twins/quads?
 
All lnb's will be single.
 
With a TD88 and Triax multiblock, 13E,16E and 19E is possible if using Inverto Black Premium LNBs. That is because those LNBs have quite small heads. Sky quad LNBs also fit (the Zinwell quads), but don't perform quite as well, which is critical for some TPs on 16E.

Oh, and 23.5E also.
 
Ok, thanks for that
