60cm dish

[Dreamlife]

A friend wants to buy a 60cm zone 2 dish to pick up 28e, 19e and 13e. Is it possible to buy a lnb hold for this dish to enable him to pickup these satellites?

i think only 1 lnb

Quad Twin Lnb for:

Hotbird 13e
Astra 1 19,2e
Astra 3 23,5e
Astra 2 28,5e

Enjoy

Thanks Glenn, that one sounds great but i'm worried it will be a bit too small. I thought that to pick up 13e you needed at least 80cm? I don't want him to buy it to find it does not work. Would this dish definitely pick up 28e and 19e ok?

m8 I don't know your location but I pick all of 13.0e with a triax 64cm dish.

I have 64cm triax dish with 4 alps twin lnbs.

19.0e
13.0e
7.0e
1.0w

All apart from 7.0e are nice and strong and have no problems.

7.0e some channels can breakup in rain.

I've attached a couple of pictures.

Thanks keano but I think he wants 28e on the dish to because otherwise it's going to mean him having 2 dishes.

It should't be any problem. All he needs is a multi-LNB adapter and there are plenty of those available. Echelon has a nice set-up but I couldn't find his original post.

This is a follow-up to it though (click on the little blue arrow to go there):


after seeing echelons 4 way zone 2 set up and being bored, i copied his set up, also running an old 60cm on 30w

got bored again to day, dug out a spare old lnb, and with the use of a drill grip and cable tie as a holder my zone 2 now has,

42e 28e 19e 13e and....... 4.8e

In practice 4 LNBs are better as it allows a 4x1 DiSEqC switch to select them all.
