I would set at 5 east so you still get a strong signal for 1 west
have done this on a lenson 85cm dish with 1 west 5 east 13 east and 19 east
and I am an in*ta**er

Hi Keith, problem is my sat is at back of house and is like being 3 storeys high and a sod to get too I have had 2 motors disq and the high winds always affects my dish. Really don't fancy getting on the roof every year, so I've decided to go for the multi lnb option. Personally I sometimes think the stab motor struggles with a large dish eg 1m with very strong winds up here in Durham.
