Astra 19.2e, Eutelsat W2 16e and Hotbird 13e

[Mr_Squidge]

Hi all

I'm fairly new to this, so apologies for the newbie question.

I have a fixed 80cm dish and a Patched TM1500. I also bought a 12mth Digital Alb Sub to watch the footie.

I currently have my dish pointing at Astra 19.2e (legacy of analogue set-up to watch Eurosport) and have found that I can pick-up some good channels with the TM. Reading around the forums it also seems that Hotbird 13.0e seems to be worth picking up. Obviously to make use of the DigitalALB card I will need to pick-up Eutelsat W2 on 16.

So, my question: is it possible to get 19.2, 16.0 and 13.0? Could I get a 3 degree monoblock and use my spare LNB to pick-up Hotbird? Would there be enough room to space 3 lnbs across 6 degrees? Does a 'triple' monoblock exist? I assume that I will be able to use the TM1500 to switch between LNBs?

Any help appreciated.

I've not heard of a triple Monoblock and you won't get 3 LNB's in that small gap - get yourself a Diseq/USALS motor and Motorise the dish, you should be able to get a few more satellites too
