2 lnb`s on one ku dish c1+pas8

**rgormley** · 03-12-08, 12:00 PM

is it posible to have one ku dish and 2 lnbs (two cables coming down to 2 x decoders or use a diseqc to switch lnbs to one decoder)

so having it pointing at sat C1 but align the send lnb`s to get C1+PAS8

hhhmm not a very well laid out question......

simply can i have one KU (fixed) dish + 2 lnb`s and get both C1 and PAs 8 (foxtel+selectv) ?

yup. I had a play with this in a 65cm Hills that Austar used. You can then run 2 leads down - one to your select box and the other to your C1 box or run the lnb's into a diseqc switch and use one box with both sats.

yes but you need a 90cm or bigger or you will get bad rain fade.
I use a 1.2 and have a 3 way lnb holder for D1 C1 Pas8

would it be feasable to point the dish half way between C1 and Pas8 OR do i just point towards C1 (central lnb) and have the pas8 lnb angled and on the side to pick up pas8?

G'Day Cobber,
It's the same sort of setup as the Toroidal. Aim between the two, but with a crossover of LNBs.
Looking into the dish, PAS8 LNB on the right and C1 on the left.
Don't forget to chop any trees down in the way or a different location.

Yes, easy. I fitted the LNB to the centre, Got D1,Tightened everything up,

put the triple LNB holder on,now looking at the dish,INS 8 is the left and C1 on the right of the centre.4 and 6 degrees of the centre.Getting 88% quality on both on a 65 cm in Sydney.When I find the pic I'll post it.Oh 'I forgot, take the centre LNB out.
