hi rolf I was thinking of moving the dish round to check if I can get the others as prime focus, but as you said it a pain to do... I'll try a get back to you... Roger

Hi rolfw I was thinking about the position of the Multifeed holder, fortunately I've come to the same conclusion... To make shure there aren't any wiring / multiswitch / Diseq errors I've tried with a single LNB directly attached to the receiver. Again no signal quality reading at all! From...

HI I live in the north-east of Sitzerland (47° 32' N / 9° 24' E) and I've got a Gibertini 125 dish. I've aligned the dish for Astra 2D and reception is good (Level 75%, Quality 65-80%). The dish has got a Multifeed holder an I tried to get the other two satellites as well. Unfortunately I...

I'll do that. Thanks rolfw

I'm interested in receiving Astra 2D (28.2), Astra 1 (19.2) and Hotbird (13) with one dish. I decided to use a Gibertini 125cm with Multifeed holder having the center position aligned for Astra 2D because it's the weakest. Can anyone of you tell me how far apart the LNB have to be placed on the...

I'm located in the north eastern part of Switzerland, on the lake of Constance and I'm too interested in a setup with Astra 2D, Astra 1 and Hotbird. I decided to use a Gibertini 125cm dish with Multifeed. Can anyone of you tell me how far apart the LNB holders have to be placed on the Multifeed...

@iceman, why do you think is not possible with 15° between the satellites? which C/N ratios would you consider as good values? @skyoutUK, where are you located?

I'd like to get the following satellites on a 1.2m Gibertini dish using a multifeed adapter: Astra 2D 28.2° Astra 1 19.2° Hotbird 13° I'm located in the East of Switzerland (47°32' N 9°24' E) Do you think this is possible? Do you have any tips hoe to align the dish without using...

Thanks for you're answer.

Hi All I'm using a Grundig Digibox at the moment. Will the same box still work after BBC has gone FTA? Do I have to change something in the setup of the box? Thanks for you're help.

Hi rolfw thanks for your help. Hopefully I can manage now... Roger

Hi rolfw you're probably right. Performance is the most important bit. I think I'll try a universal LNB (~£10.--) if it doesn't work I can always buy a C120 typ and haven't lost much money. The problem is, that I can't really find any supplier that has C120 LNB's. Could you please give me a link...

Hi rolfw, I spoke to the Channelmaster people and they suggested to use a universal LNB, not a C120 type, they said that the universal is better value for money. I think the Gibertini is also thought with universal LNB. I don't know....?

Hi rolfw Unfortunately they do not sell the Invacom LNB's. At the moment a lot of shops sell the Golden Interstar 0.3dB LNB, is it any good? What do you think about the Gibertini 125 dish? Is it equivalent to the Channelmaster dish? Thanks for your reply. Roger

Hi rolfw I think I'll go for the Channel Master dish. I had already contact with the sales office in Germany and they have them in stock. Thank you very much for your info.
