    Help Required Hotbird + Astra 28.2E in one dish

    I see what you mean, I think I need to tinker more with the setup and try to get a better signal because Hotbird HD channels are "stuttering"... Well, it's back on the ladder once the weather permits it ... :-doh

    Help Required Hotbird + Astra 28.2E in one dish

    Ok, I think I can live with this :Y:Y:Y My bum is freezing and I'm off the ladder for today :p I've connected both LNBs to a DiSEqC Switch, tonight I'm going to check if my TV integrated sat receiver and my DS800 SE like this setup. If they do, I'll tidy up and put all cables properly and...

    Moving right looking at dish degrades the signal on both LNBs. I did mark my earlier setup, I'll keep playing with it and see if I can get better results. Thanks.

    The dish back-mount has scales on both side but the pole-bracket has a notch only on one side, so depending how you mount the pole-bracket you can align the notch only to one scale on one side. The instruction manual shows: This the other side of my dish back-mount, before I had the pole...

    Help Required Hotbird + Astra 28.2E in one dish

    Hi, thanks to all of you for the good advice. I finally made some progress: I spent good part of the morning searching for Astra 1 (19.2E) without success, I then tried to look for Astra 2 (28.2E) and finally found it. From there I played with the LNB on the other side of the triax multi...

    Help Required Hotbird + Astra 28.2E in one dish

    My LNB arm is pointing at 19.2, I tried to get the LNBs in offset to point to 28.2 and 13 but could not get any lock. Tried also with one LNB close to the focus but could not get 19.2 lock, but that is probably because the angle I set for the dish was for astra 2 (25°).

    Thanks for the warm welcome :D I've tried again today but still no Joy, can't find pretty much anything... This is what my (very much work in progress) setup looks like at the moment: This is a screenshot of the phone resting on the LNB arm while running SAT Director for Android The Triax...

    A33, Many thanks for the superfast reply. So, still looking at the sky (giving the back to the dish and with the dish LNB arm pointing to Astra 19.2) the LNB for Astra2 28.2 goes to the right of the LNB arm and the LNB for Hotbird 13 goes to the left of the LNB arm? Yes I am that much of a...

    Help Required Hotbird + Astra 28.2E in one dish

    I realize this thread is very old but I'm trying to setup a similar system and getting very confused. I have a triax TD78 (80cm) and the Triax multi lnb holder, but I'm not sure how to position the LNBs for Astra 2 and Hotbird. Looking at the sky (giving the back to the dish and with the dish...
