Hi
I am looking for help regarding dish size. I live in Wakefield, West Yorkshire. At my previous address i had a 90cm which with 2 LNB's @ 13 & 19 Degrees. Unfortunately i had to leave this dish when i moved and i am now looking to buy a replacement. I would prefer to keep it fixed rather than motorised and i am wondering what size dish i would need to get 13,19 & 28 on one dish if it is possible

Thanks in advance

i'm near wakefield, well towards leeds more but anyway

you will be ok for those satellites on triax or gibertini 90cm dish with multi lnb bracket

why not go motorised instead ?

something like below

It can be done on a zone 2 sky dish, 60cm. with a multiblock 4 way for a gilbertini dish.

This was done by Echelon over at pimps(hope he does not mind me using his pic

)

He had to extend the arm from 13 inches to 15 inches.

The main lnb is set to hotbird 13*E

so looking at the dish from the front its, 42*e, 28*e, 19*e, 13*e

It would seem that some people love a challenge.

Some men climb mountains - because they are there.
Some redesign their dishes - to make them rare.
Some lay on the sofa rhyming - and really just don't care.
