[QUOTE="sonnetpete, post: 1000835, member: 310216"] Initally, set up your dish for 7E only, with an LNB in the original holder on the dish support arm. Adjust dish for best results and lock off horizontal and vertical adjustments. Remove the central LNB and mount your two LNB bracket. Looking at the dish from the front, the LNB for 13E should be to the left of the dish LNB arm and slightly raised. 1E should be to the right of the arm and slightly lower. To explain 'mirroring' : You are trying to follow the satellite arc or curve by creating a corresponding curve with your LNB bracket. However, because your dish is fixed, any LNB for a different point in the curve will have to receive it's signal at an angle. Hence the need to find the 'sweet spot' with your bracket and LNB, a matter of trial and error and compromise. Don't forget to adjust skew on both LNB's for best results. Sorry if this isn't a good explanation, if you Google 'multi sat set ups' I'm sure you could find better explanatory articles and images... [/QUOTE]
