[CC1977]

I am planning to try to set up additional lnbs on my 60cm round dish. I have seen a photo on this board of a 5 lnb set-up with a sky dish. ..sorry - can't remember poster or link. The centre of the dish and the centre lnb is 19.2e

My question is.... the photo has the satellite angles listed. The satellites run from 42e through to 4.8e... running from left to right.

The compass would suggest that these are in the wrong order - unless this is because the order is reversed due to the 'reflection' of the 'offset' satellites across the dish.

I want to check the 'reverse' idea - so that I will be looking in the correct place for the 'offset' satellites when I couple up the lnbs. (ie that if I centre on 19.2e, 28e would be to the left of the centred lnb - rather than to the right (east) of it (facing the dish) - as the higher number east would suggest.

am I on the correct track?

thanks

Yes it's mirrord on a standard dish, so focused on 19e, 28e would be to the left and 13e to the right. (when facing the dish)

There is no way that 4.8e and 42e are possible for a sky dish. Thats a differance of 37 degrees, even on a Triax TD110, 1w - 28e (29 degrees) is really pushing it. Only the toridoidal dishes like the wave frontier are capable of such a spread.

A zone 2 dish will just about do 13e 19e and 28e, being oval helps. Normally an 80cm would be used, and is recommended.
