Suggestion (Multi LNb set up)

[joy123]

hello, i need some suggestion for my setup.
ok, i have 2 dish. sky mini dish and 65 cm dish.

now i want to keep the sky mini dish for fix 28.2e, but want to use 65 cm dish with multi lnb which is not being use at the moment. i want 9e, 13, and 19.2e and 16 e if possible,
is it possible to set 4 lnb in my 65 cm dish? which satellite i should point my dish to?
and do i need thin lnb like alps because any of the satellite are too close? if i do which 2 satellite are very close?
thanks in advance

Yes you need narrow neck LNb's as the spacing for those satellites are only 3° apart. You'll need some thing like an 80cm minimum.

is it possible to get atleast 3 of them from 65 cm?

Well you won't get good results from 16E with a 65cm dish anyway, even if that were the focus for the Dish.

You might get 9E, 13E and 19E with it, though.

Better to go for a bigger Dish and be sure: Something around 80cm for 9E, 13E and 19E and bigger still if you really want a decent selection from 16E.

Why not go straight to a Motorised system?

my 65 cm is setup with a motor, but i found motor is useless, its need a while to change the channel and its not stable, so i wanted to get multi lnb and take off the motor.
another thing is i wanted to feed all the lnb from 2 dish to 2 reciver, how could i have one motor and one fixed in same box? is it possible?

9e,13e,19e, should be achievable on a fixed 65cm dish as long as you can get the the 9E and 13E LNBs close enough. You can forget 16E though, without going bigger.

Yes 1 motorised dish and 1 fixed dish into a single receiver is readily achievable. I 'm using that combination now.

For two receivers, the fixed dish would be OK, but the motorised one would not be controllable from the second location normally.

I have that set up too, but my main receiver is Linux, so I use my web interface on my lappy to move the motor from the 2nd location.;)
