I've recently put up an 80cm dish with twin LNB (13E & 19.2E), about 3m from a "Sky" dish.
These are fed to my receiver via a 4:1 diseqc switch.

The receiver shows quite a good signal trace for 9E, 4.8E, 26E & 70.2E

Sometimes I can genuinely get channels from these "extra" satellites, but sometimes I can see

Has anybody else experienced this?
Why does it happen?
One dish focusing signals for the LNB on another?
Reflection off windows?
Other?

Not a problem, just curious

You arent actually getting any signals off these extra sats - all thats happening is that when you scan them you get channel off 19E or 13E that use the same frequency and technical parameters as the other satellites.

I'll double check this evening but I'd swear I actually found a couple of stations that's not listed on 13E or 19E at Lyngsat.
Didn't keep them cos they weren't of interest.

Must check my listings

If you list them later we will help you identify them

70E is almost impossible in the UK as its virtually on the south eastern horizon and would only be visible if you lived up near the top of a large hill
