My Satellite Setup
90cm Fortec Star Dish
1.2mtr Channelmaster Dish
Manhattan Plaza 3300 Receiver
My Location
Neath, South Wales. UK
I moved my dish to 0.8w last night something i havent done in months. After scanning i noticed i was picking up channels on Thor @ 0.8w and also channels on Intelsat 10-02 @ 1w. Is it normal to be able to pick both satellites, i know they are close to each other but i havent picked both up before.
Also on Thor i notice some channels are on the nordic beam, does this mean that there is a chance you will not pick up the channels in the uk.
It seems i cannot pick any of the channels on Thor on 11823.00 H 28000 7/8 on the nordic beam. Most channels from Romania and Bulgaria according to kingofsat.
Last question is i hope to keep my dish on Thor but i was also hoping to fit a multi lnb bracket on and receive 5w and 12.5w off the same dish. Is this possible and if so which other satellite would i be able to pick up as im hoping to fit 4 lnbs on to the dish
Thank you in advance for any help or advice

The satellites are co-located so you should pick up both providing you have positioned your dish correctly, and the dish is big enough.
As well as kingofsat check lyngsat:

Click on the beam link and you'll get maps showing the approximate size of dish required.
Personally I prefer a motorized setup, but many use multiple LNB's, check the pictures of members satellites.
 
Hi,
I would imagine that you would be able to get 5E on the multi-LNB setup.
