i have a sly dish and can get most things of 28.2e is there anything else i can scan of that angle at all?

i have a tm 500 on c/s and at some point going to have to set up 3 more rooms

so i guess i`ll need just a quad lnb? to feed each box?

but wanted to know what else can be got without moving dish

Assuming its a zone1, not much.!

I have had 13E at focus and held an LNB to the side and got 28E before now, but I don't recall the signal quality being that great. Not tried with 28E at the focus though, you just might get some hotbird, if your'e lucky.

TBH you would be better going for a bigger dish. A zone 2 can handle 28e, 19e and 13e. It does take some fiddling with to get it though.

what sort of dish size?

Analoguesat · 02-03-10, 01:34 PM

80cm is good. Will give you most of the Eurosats if its motorised.

13/19 and 28 will work on a zone2. Not the best signal levels from 28 and 13 but acceptable.

I only had a monoblock,19E/13E on a zone 2 Sky minidish,and had a couple of transponders,missing from both satellites,despite numerous tweaking.
Rain fade was severely reduced.
